A Kent-based horse riding star has died aged 37 after suffering a fall in a cross-country event.
Georgie Campbell, from Lamberhurst near Tunbridge Wells, was competing in the Bicton International Trials in Devon on Sunday.
The professional rider and her horse Global Quest fell into water at a fence on the course on the final day of the meeting.
Campbell, who has competed in more than 200 events, could not be saved despite the efforts of medics.
Governing body British Eventing said in a statement: "It is with deepest regret we announce that Georgie Campbell suffered a fatal accident while competing at the Bicton International Horse Trials in Devon.
"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."
An air ambulance and hazardous area response team were among the emergency services sent to the scene.
Campbell married fellow event rider Jesse Campbell, who competes for New Zealand, in 2020.
The pair set up Team Campbell Eventing, an equestrian business based near Lamberhurst.
