Olympic eventer and since 2014 active showjumper, Wyndham St John has passed away on Monday in Spain. The 63-year-old Canadian suffered a ruptured aneurysm and brain bleed when she fell from her horse during an international showjumping competition.
She was airlifted to a specialist neurological unit but died in hospital on 6 March. βWyn and I had the best 34 years together, our common passions and goals took us around the world,β her husband JosΓ© said.
Wyndham competed at the 2000 Olympics and the 2002 Olympic Games on Oliver, and in 2014, she switched to showjumping, competing throughout Europe until last month.
A spokesman for the Andalucia Sunshine Tour, where Wyndham was competing last month, said: βIt is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Wyndham St John β our thoughts and prayers are close to her loved ones. Her kindness and love will for ever be remembered by all of us.β
