Internationally respected Australian Eventer Matt Ryan announced his official retirement from competition via Twitter yesterday. Matt boasts an impressive and long list of accolades at the very top levels of our sport. In the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Matt and Kibah Tic Toc won both the individual and team gold medals, and in 2000 he returned to the Olympics with Kibah Sandstone to take another team gold medal home. In addition to that, he has many top placings at all of the best European events, including Badminton & Burghley places inside the top 10 multiple times.
He went on to say that he will be focusing on “training, teaching and media work” for the days to come. Matt will remain based in England for his retirement. We wish all the best to Matt in his new pursuits!
