To the delight of the crowds, Pippa Funnell claimed her second victory at the 2003 Badminton Horse Trials on Supreme Rock, the Irish bred horse with whom she also successfully defended the European Championships in 2001. In a nail biting finish, Pippa and Supreme Rock gained their second consecutive Mitsubishi trophy – holding on to the title by the slenderest of margins – just 0.4 ahead of the Finnish combination of Piia Pantsu and Ypaja Karuso. The British combination of Jeanette Brakewell and Over To You jumped a good clear round to move up to third place – making it an all female top three.
