Campbell, who was competing on the final day of the event, was immediately attended to by medical staff but could not be saved, said British Eventing. The governing body said in a statement: 'It is with deepest regret that we announce that Georgie Campbell suffered a fatal accident while competing at the Bicton International Horse Trials in Devon on Sunday. '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 waked back to the stable and is uninjured.
