When the GB star became World champion…
13. Ros Canter & Allstar B, Tryon 2018
In September 2018, at the FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon (USA), British eventer Rosalind Canter and Allstar B delivered a masterclass across all phases.
The Briton emerged victorious, capturing Individual gold and Team gold for Great Britain in what was a stunning campaign.
Solid start
Canter began the competition with a solid dressage test that helped Great Britain to second place by the end of the phase. A score of 24.6 meant she was within reach of the leaders, Germany’s Julia Krajewski and Ingrid Klimke, who had both started strongly.
Moving to the second phase, the competitors faced a cross country that was designed to push the world’s best combinations to their limits. The Mark Phillips-designed course was challenging, but you wouldn’t have guessed it from the way Canter and Allstar took it on.
The pair tackled everything with the ease of a far more seasoned combination, and their clear round within the optimum time catapulted them up the leaderboard into second place, with Germany’s Klimke and SAP Hale Bob OLD leading the pack. Canter described her horse as “absolutely amazing, a hero.”
