Athlete Spotlight: Yasmin Ingham

December 17, 2024

Yasmin Ingham and her powerhouse horse, Banzai du Loir, have had a banner season, capturing top placements at some of the world’s most competitive events. At the 2024 Kentucky Three-Day Event, Ingham and Banzai secured an impressive third place. From there, they went on to dominate the CCI4* at Luhmühlen, taking first place, and then earned third in the CCI5* at the same venue. The 26-year-old British rider, who hails from the Isle of Man, has spent the year reinforcing her reputation on the international stage.

Banzai du Loir and Ingham were selected as alternates for Team Great Britain at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where the team went on to win gold. Ingham has expressed her excitement and gratitude for these incredible opportunities:


"An awesome week at one of the best events in the world. I’m not sure much else compares to the feeling of riding into the Rolex Stadium with so much atmosphere and the incredible American crowd!"

With such an extraordinary season under their belts, Ingham and Banzai du Loir are certainly a pair to watch as the 2025 season approaches. Fans can’t wait to see what’s in store for this talented duo at next year’s Kentucky Three-Day Event and beyond.
