During the course of her competition in an equestrian event in England, the British horse rider Georgie Campbell had a fall.
A horse rider from the United Kingdom passed away on Sunday after she suffered a fall while participating at an equestrian event in England, according to the regulatory organization of the sport.
A statement released by British Eventing said that Georgie Campbell passed away as a result of a mishap that occurred on Sunday during her participation in the Bicton International Horse Trials in Devon, England. 37 was her age.
According to a statement released by British Eventing, “Medical professionals attended immediately following her fall at fence 5b; however, unfortunately, she could not be saved.”
The horse, Global Quest, was examined by veterinarians who were present at the scene, and he returned to the stable injury-free.
“To respect the family’s privacy at this extremely difficult and sad time, no further details will be shared,” British Eventing said in their announcement.
It was claimed by BBC, a partner of CBS News, that Campbell had participated in over 200 competitions over her career and had won six of them.
According to the BBC, She was married to New Zealand event rider Jesse Campbell, who participated in the Tokyo Olympics. Campbell’s maiden name was Strang. Jesse Campbell was a competitor at the Olympics. According to the Telegraph, the relationship between the pair resulted in the formation of Team Campbell Eventing.
“Georgie was intimidating, and not simply in terms of her skill, which was quite obvious to everyone. She was the kind of girl who could brighten up a room with her grin, as stated by the journal Eventing Times in a memorial post that was published on social media on Monday. It was said that she had charisma, charm, warmth, and sincerity. She liked a great number of people and made time for you. She certainly left her impact on the world, as Georgie ascended to tremendous heights and accomplished a great deal during her life.
A little more than a year has passed since the loss of Campbell, who was a 15-year-old girl who passed away when her horse slipped and fell while she was competing in an equestrian competition in Florida.
