Start:

He began riding during the summer while he was attending school in Cambridge, New Zealand. (stuff.co.nz, 23 Nov 2011)

Reason:

He was inspired by New Zealand's performance in eventing at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. A promising rugby player in his youth, he was also eventually forced to decide between the two sports. "I really enjoyed rugby but it always came second really. That might seem a bit odd for a Kiwi boy but I always just wanted to ride." (newsazi.com, 29 Jun 2021; stuff.co.nz, 23 Nov 2011)

Ambition:

To win a medal at the Olympic Games. (shiresequestrianblog.com, 09 Oct 2020)

Memorable:

Placing second as part of the New Zealand team at the 2019 Aachen Nations Cup in Germany. (shiresequestrianblog.com, 09 Oct 2020; resulting.chioaachen.de, 22 Jul 2019)

Hero:

New Zealand eventer Andrew Nicholson. (stuff.co.nz, 23 Nov 2011)

Philosophy:

"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything." (jessecampbelleventing.com, 13 Jul 2021)

Award:

He was named the 2015 Waikato Junior Sportsman of the Year in New Zealand. (jessecampbelleventing.com, 12 Oct 2015; stuff.co.nz, 16 Jun 2015)

General Interest

General
FROM NEW ZEALAND TO ENGLAND
He moved to England in 2010 to work under New Zealand eventer Andrew Nicholson ahead of the 2012 Olympic Games in New Zealand. He went on to establish his own competition yard in Marlborough, England in 2012. "I remember waking up on the first day after leaving Andrew's and I had to muck out my horses and I didn't even have a wheelbarrow or a pitch fork. So it was a challenge, but I think it has made me adaptable and determined." (newsazi.com, 29 Jun 2021; jessecampbelleventing.com, 24 Jun 2021, 12 Oct 2015; thegaitpost.com, 01 Jul 2015)
