Fascinated by horses from the age of six, six times World Champion Boyd Exell’s path to international sporting greatness began when a school teacher in his native Australia introduced him to a carriage driving friend. His passion was cemented when he went on to win the Australian Pairs Championship at the age of 16. Moving to the UK to develop this early talent, Boyd soon took the world of carriage driving by storm, competing for Australia as well as training the British driving team. Among his achievements, he has been crowned four-in-hand world champion six times, as well as winning the FEI World Cup Driving Championship nine times. Boyd’s competitive spirit has shaped the sportsman he has become today. Celebrated with a string of accolades including Reem Acra Best Athlete and Ariat International Athlete of the Year awards, Boyd has also been honoured with the Order of Australia Medal in recognition of his services to equestrian sport, in particular four-in-hand carriage driving.
