Fresh from their gold medal-winning performance at the Paris Olympic Games, event riders Laura Collett and recent Burghley winner Ros Canter are teaming up with Nicola Wilson for an exclusive demonstration at this year’s Your Horse Live (8-10 November).
The trio of Olympians — Nicola was a member of the silver medal-winning eventing team at the London 2012 Games — will appear in the main arena on Saturday and Sunday. More details about their demo will be released in due course but one thing is for certain: it’s going to be great!

About Laura Collett MBE
Laura Collett and London 52 in action at the Tokyo Olympics
Laura and her top horse London 52 won individual bronze in Paris as well as team gold. They were also a part of the gold medal-winning team at the delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Laura, 34, has won three CCI5* titles (all on London 52): Badminton 2022, Luhmuhlen in Germany in 2023 and Pau, France, in 2020.
She competed in showing as a child — and won the 2003 supreme pony championship title at Horse of the Year Show — before turning to eventing.
Laura survived a rotational cross-country fall in 2013 that left her in a coma for seven days with severe injuries, including losing the sight in her right eye.

Nicola suffered a career-ending fall at Badminton in 2022, where she sustained multiple spinal fractures as well as a condition called ‘Central Cord Syndrome’, which means she has lost sensation and movement in her extremities.
She is now in high demand as a coach, trainer and mentor, helping other riders achieve their dreams and goals.
