Great Britain’s Pippa Funnell has had some incredible horses cross her path during her illustrious career. Supreme Rock, the gritty Irish gelding with whom she partnered to win Badminton twice in a row (the 2003 victory came as the second leg of Pippa’s eventual Grand Slam of Eventing win), is one such horse.
“I think ‘Rocky’ put me on the map from the point of view of actually getting the results, actually winning,” Pippa reflects in the latest “Horses of History” video from the FEI. “He made me realize that I could win.”
Together, Pippa and Rocky collected numerous accolades, including consecutive European Championship titles, an Olympic silver medal, and a Bronze World Equestrian Games medal. Take a look back at this incredible partnership in the video above.
