British horse riding star Georgie Campbell has died aged 37 after suffering a fall at the Bicton International Horse Trials in Devon on Sunday.
Campbell and Global Quest were competing in the CCI4*-S event when the accident took place on the cross-country course. They fell at a log into the water at fence 5b, known as the Symonds & Sampson Splash.
Medical professionals had immediately attended the scene, but Campbell tragically passed away.
During her career, Campbell competed in more than 200 events, winning on six occasions, including five-star events Badminton and Burghley. In 2020, she married event rider Jesse Campbell, who had previously represented New Zealand at the Tokyo Olympics.
A statement from Bicton International Horse Trials read: 'It is with deepest regret that we announce that Georgie Campbell (GBR) suffered a fatal accident whilst competing at the Bicton International Horse Trials in Devon, England on Sunday 26 May 2024.
'Medical professionals attended immediately following her fall at fence 5b however, unfortunately, she could not be saved.
'The horse, Global Quest, was assessed by the on-site vets and walked back to the stable and is uninjured.
'To respect the family's privacy at this extremely difficult and sad time, no further details will be shared.'
The Bicton Horse Trials took place at the Bicton Arena in Devon between Thursday, May 23 and Sunday, May 26.
A statement had been released earlier on Sunday announcing that Campbell and Global Quest had fallen on the course and that there would be a delay of approximately one hour. The CCI4*-S event was subsequently abandoned following the news that Campbell had suffered a fatal fall.
Campbell, who originally hails from Kent, was shortlisted for the British Junior Team before going on to make her five-star debut in 2009. She had also made several Nations Cup appearances with Team GB.
Earlier in May, Campbell and Global Quest had finished third in the CCI3*-S at Osberton International Horse Trials.
Global Quest is an 11-year-old horse who has competed with Campbell for several years. The horse had moved to four-star level in 2022, with the pair winning the CCI4*-L at Lignieres in France the same year.
