Peter Charles MBE (born 1 January 1960) is an Irish-British equestrian who competes in the sport of show jumping.
Originally a competitor for Great Britain, Charles changed nationalities to Irish in 1992. In 2007, he relinquished his status as an Irish rider and once again began representing Great Britain.[1]
Charles was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to equestrianism.[2]
Charles reportedly sold his gold medal winning horse, Vindicat W, to rock star Bruce Springsteen for his showjumper daughter Jessica.[3][4][5]
