Olympic gold medallist Ballaghmor Class, the 19-year-old Irish-bred gelding ridden by Oliver Townend, has retired from eventing after a decade of top-level success. The horse, known as Thomas at home, secured four CCI5* victories and team gold at the Tokyo Olympics. Townend announced the retirement, with an official ceremony planned at Burghley Horse Trials in September.
Oliver Townend has withdrawn his horse Cooley Rosalent from this week’s Mars Badminton Horse Trials, scheduled for May 6-10. The pair, who finished second last year, were second favourites behind Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo. Townend expressed great disappointment in a statement.
