The defending champions from Great Britain are bidding to become the first-ever five-time Eventing team champions when the equestrian events at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games spring into action on July 27.

The British victory in Tokyo three years ago was the crest of a wave that carried them on to complete domination at the European Championship 2021 in Avenches (SUI) a few months later where they collected team gold and the entire set of individual medals. And although things didn’t go as planned at the World Championship in Pratoni (ITA) in 2022 where the team had to settle for fourth place, 25-year-old Yasmin Ingham and Banzai du Loir claimed the individual title.

They were back in formidable form when taking team gold and individual gold and silver at last summer’s European Championship in France. And, completely spoiled for choice due to the calibre of their pool of contenders, they arrive in Paris with world number one Rosalind Canter riding Lordships Graffalo, Laura Collett with London 52, Tom McEwen partnering JL Dublin and Ingham and Banzai du Loir as reserves.
