Caroline Powell and Greenacres Special Cavalier are the toast of the world of eventing this morning after winning the 2024 MARS Badminton Horse Trials in a heart-stopping finish.
It’s 14 years since Caroline won her first – and only other – CCI5*-L crown, but this is a mare she has long believed in. They scored 30 in the dressage to sit in seventh place at the end of the test, followed by a “masterful” cross country adding just time penalties to move up to sixth and then a stunning double clear this morning for the win.
What a finish the 75th anniversary event produced and what a difference a year can make for Caroline and Greenacres Special Cavalier who could only manage 30th in the 2023 edition, making them the darkest of dark horses at this year’s event.
