“Oh my God, this is the call,” Yasmin Ingham remembers thinking, when she saw technical director and performance manager Richard (Dickie) Waygood ’s number flash up on her phone as she had a cup of tea one morning in July. It was indeed the call – she was going to Paris 2024 as the alternate or reserve rider for the British eventing team.
She was ready, coming into Paris “massively on form” as the reigning World Champion , finishing third at Kentucky in May and winning Luhmülen with her “horse of a lifetime”, Banzai du Loir .

They had trained to the same level as the British trio who would win gold – Tom McEwen , Ros Canter and Laura Collett – right up to the event. And every evening throughout the competition, Yasmin prepared as she usually would if she were going to compete. She went through her dressage test, watched previous training sessions, revised the notes she’d written from them, and took advice.
