Chris Moyce (March 1965 - April 2025)

It is with great sadness and regret that British Showjumping confirm Chris Moyce passed away in hospital on 15 April following a fall in the warm-up area on the 4 April while competing at Bury Farm Equestrian Centre, Slapton, Buckinghamshire.

 

A well-respected producer of showjumpers for many years, including Pjort, who went on to international success with Geoff Luckett whilst still in his ownership, Chris, of Canterbury, Kent, will be much missed and mourned by the showjumping community.

 

“Chris passed away peacefully without regaining consciousness,” said close friend and fellow showjumper Heidi Luck. “On behalf of [his partner] Mark and the rest of Chris’s family, we would like to say Chris loved being a showjumper and it gives us some small comfort that he spent his last day doing his most favourite thing in the world. Mark and the family would like to thank everyone for all their support during this difficult time.”

 

Iain Graham, Chief Executive of British Showjumping, said: “Chris supported showjumping in many ways and was greatly respected by officials, staff and fellow competitors. He was always encouraging to those starting off in the sport and gave a lot of his time in helping British Showjumping activities in his area.”

 

All at British Showjumping would like to extend our thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.
