We are delighted to welcome Pippa Funnell MBE, one of the world's most accomplished equestrian athletes, as a patron of The British Horse Foundation. With her extensive experience in horse sports, proven commitment to animal welfare, and passion to build successful foundations to support young horses, Pippa will be an invaluable advocate for our mission.


Pippa’s impressive equestrian credentials hardly need any introduction; she won silver medals in the team Eventing at the Sydney and the Athens Olympic Games, where she also won the individual bronze eventing medal. She was the first winner of the Rolex Grand Slam in 2003 and was a three-time winner of Badminton Horse Trials as well as twice winning the European Eventing Championships.


Pippa remains at the top of her sport and is a renowned producer of young horses from the Billy Stud with her husband William Funnell and has won a record number of Burghley Young Event Horse classes.  Her commitment to support the very best in breeding and development of horses to give them the very best start for sustainable wellbeing aligns perfectly with the mission of the British Horse Foundation and we very much look forward to working together for the benefit of all horses.
