Anneli Drummond-Hay on Sporting Ford at Hickstead in 1970

She won at Badminton, Burghley, Hickstead and Rome, and continued competing into her eighties

Anneli Drummond-Hay, was the foremost female rider of her era; invincible in eventing on the great Merely-A-Monarch, she landed the world’s two premier three-day events, Badminton and Burghley, in the early 1960s.

She then switched to showjumping, scoring dozens of grand prix wins, a women’s European Championship, the Hickstead Derby and two Rome Derbies. Many riders enjoy a spell of supremacy in one discipline, but being equally adept at two equestrian sports put her in a class of her own.
