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.
Ros Canter and Ginny Elliot met at Burghley earlier this month to mark Canter's new plinth on Winners’ Avenue. The pair discussed their victories and the changes in eventing over the decades.
