Georgie Campbell Passes Away at Bicton Trials

Georgie Campbell, a 37-year-old British event rider, tragically lost her life after falling from her horse during the Bicton International Horse Trials in Devon. British Eventing has confirmed this devastating news. Medical professionals rushed to Georgie’s aid as soon as she fell at fence 5b. Despite their immediate response and efforts, they were unable to save her life. The governing body expressed their sadness in a statement, acknowledging the swift action taken by the medical team.

On-site veterinarians promptly examined the horse involved in the incident, Global Quest. Thankfully, the horse emerged from the incident unharmed and was able to walk back to the stable without any injuries. In light of the heart-wrenching circumstances, the governing body has decided to honor the privacy of Georgie’s family during this difficult time. They have refrained from sharing any further details surrounding the incident, respecting the family’s need for privacy and space to grieve.

Georgie Campbell was an accomplished event rider, having participated in over 200 events throughout her career. She competed in prestigious five-star events such as Badminton and Burghley, where she emerged victorious on six occasions. Her dedication and talent in the equestrian world were truly remarkable. Georgie was married to Jesse Campbell, also a renowned event rider, who competes on behalf of New Zealand.  This shared passion for the sport brought them together, creating a strong bond not only in their personal lives but also in their professional careers.

The loss of Georgie Campbell has undoubtedly left a void in the equestrian community. Her talent, passion and vivacity will be remembered by all who had the privilege of witnessing her skills on the course. Our thoughts and condolences go out to her family and loved ones during this incredibly challenging time.
