Harry Charles

Harry is the son of Peter Charles, who was part of the gold medal-winning jumping team at London 2012 – alongside Harry's Paris team mates Ben Maher and Scott Brash. A successful youth rider, Harry made his senior championship debut at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games with Romeo 88, where he was one of the youngest riders in the field. Since then, he has continued to impress, with results including winning the London leg of the FEI Jumping World Cup and the London Grand Prix at the London International Horse Show in 2021, and finishing fourth at the FEI Jumping World Cup Final the following year.

In 2022, Harry was part of the team that headed to the FEI Jumping World Championship in Herning, Denmark, where Great Britain won bronze – our first World Championship medal since 1998.

Harry has been a regular face on the FEI Jumping Nations Cup circuit, including helping the British team to win at home soil at Hickstead in 2023. Later that year, he was selected to represent the British team at the FEI European Championship in Milano riding Casquo Blue.

Aged just 25, Harry made his second Olympic Games appearance at Paris 2024, alongside his father's London 2012 teamates, Scott Brash and Ben Maher. Despite carrying a still-healing wrist – broken in a fall at CHIO Aachen just three weeks previously – Harry and Romeo 88 played a vital role in securing team gold at the Games, including an all-important clear round in the team final. The result meant that he and father Peter became Team GB's first father-son gold medallists since 1948.
