Ros Canter

Rider Profile

Name:
Ros Canter

Ros grew up on her family farm in Hallington, Lincolnshire, where she spent a lot of her time riding around the farm with her parents and two sisters.

She has a degree in Sports Science from Sheffield Hallam University, where she also played first team hockey, and since 2011, she has been running her own eventing and livery yard.

Ros made her senior championship debut in 2017 and was part of the gold medal-winning team in Strzegom, Poland. Earlier that year she finished third at Badminton Horse Trials.

In 2018, she and Allstar B were selected for the team that travelled to the World Equestrian Games in Tryon. They put in a brilliant performance to finish on their dressage score, securing team gold and an individual gold medal.

A late call-up saw the pair head to the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games as the travelling reserve combination. While they might not have crossed the start line, they were a vital part of the team effort that secured gold. A quick turn-around then saw them head to Avenches, Switzerland, as part of the British team that took gold at the FEI Eventing European Championship. 

Ros then travelled to Pratoni with new partner Lordships Graffalo in 2022. The pair were foot-perfect to finish on their dressage score of 26.2 – the same score as third-placed Tim Price and Falco, who was placed ahead of them due to a faster cross-country time.
