British Eventing has announced that there will be a collective silence held at all British Eventing events this weekend, including Millstreet in Ireland. A chance for everyone to stand quietly together and reflect, BE ‘ask members and supporters, whether at an event or at home, to join us at 12 noon to stop and take 2 minutes to reflect on Georgie’s life and quietly send thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.’ Since then, all events running in the U.S. this weekend have been invited by USEA CEO Rob Burk to join British Eventing in solidarity with a silence at 12 pm on Saturday (6/1) in whatever time zone they are in. We would encourage all competitors at events around the country this weekend to join us in observing a moment of silence in honor of Georgie Campbell and all other riders we have lost along the way.
In the words of Georgie’s loving husband, Jesse, “when you’re out competing this weekend, please just smile at each other, don’t feel awkward about laughing, and above all, try and love everything and everyone.”
💜🤍🕊️ Go Eventing.

Fresh from another sterling 5* performance at Badminton with Copper Beach, Cosby Green heads to Millstreet this weekend. She spoke to The Irish Horse Board about her stable full of Irish horses, and what makes them such great Eventers. I’m sure many of you out there would agree with Cosby – there’s nothing quite like an Irish horse.
