Matt Ryan retires from competitive riding

Matt looks forward to his new role in media - seen here interviewing William Fox-Pitt as he exits the arena at Burghley

 

Matt Ryan holds a special place in Australia’s heart – who can forget that momentous gold medal winning performance in 1992 at the Barcelona Olympic Games where he famously clinched a double gold victory on Kibah Tic Toc

Matt then went on to represent Australia at the Sydney 2000 Games where he also won team gold on Kibah Sandstone

We caught up with Matt at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials where he was busy interviewing riders as they left the dressage arena and talked to him about his plans for the future
