Peter Charles, MBE (born 1 January 1960) is a 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] He was in the British team which won the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics.
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]
