He’s a legend of the sport and has seen it in all forms, so it was no surprise that Mark Todd took up the offer to ride at the $100,000 Land Rover Wellington Eventing Showcase this year.

Todd, along with special guests William Fox-Pitt and fellow New Zealander Dan Jocelyn, have been giving a masterclass in catch riding this weekend, taking on two horses each.

We caught up with Todd for a quick chat after he’d finished an informative cross-country course walk with Fox-Pitt and two-time showcase winner Boyd Martin.
