Equestrian rider Georgie Campbell meets a fatal accident when she falls.
George Campbell, a seasoned British equestrian, tragically lost her life during the Bicton Versatility Tournament. British Eventing, the coordinating body, confirmed her untimely demise in a statement. The heartbreaking incident occurred at Obstacle 5b in Devon's International Horse Trials.
Paramedics rushed to her side and provided prompt medical attention. However, their efforts proved futile in the face of her severe injuries. Meanwhile, her horse Global Quest was unscathed, and veterinary professionals examined it on-site before returning it to its stable.
With deepest sympathy and respect for Campbells' family's private grief, British Eventing chose not to release more details about the disastrous accident. Since her fatal fall, the competition at Bicton has been canceled.
George Campbell accrued over 200 tournament participations and six victories throughout her impressive career. After Master Jesse, a 34-year-old New Zealander, married her in December 2020, she passed away. Jesse also happens to be an elite cross-country rider.
From an early age, Campbell exhibited a passion for riding. She started at the tender age of two and thrived as a show jumper. Later, she developed a love for cross-country racing. In her teenage years, she earned a call-up to Great Britain's junior team, and she made her five-star debut in 2009. She would go on to join the Nations Cup teams, representing her country regularly.
