Celebrate the legacy of a true champion, whose spirit and fight encapsulate the essence of eventing. Guests: Piggy March, born Georgina in Leicestershire and affectionately nicknamed after the character Piglet from Winnie The Pooh by her sister, is a celebrated British event rider. Her journey in eventing has been marked by significant achievements, including clinching her first five-star title at the 2019 Badminton Horse Trials with Vanir Kamira, a feat that ignited a stellar season culminating in a Team Silver at the Eventing European Championships and a second place at the Burghley Horse Trials. Piggy's dedication to the sport was further recognized when she was named the BE Leading Rider in 2019​​. March's commitment extends beyond competition; together with her husband, Tom March, she runs March Stud in Northamptonshire, focusing on breeding, competing, and selling horses aimed at excelling in international equestrian sport. Their operation is grounded in a belief in quality genetics and patience, foundational training for each horse to reach its potential. Piggy has also made significant contributions to Team GB at World and European Championships, securing individual silver medals in 2009 and 2021, and was a vital part of the gold medal-winning team at the World Equestrian Games in Tryon in 2018.
