Clarke Johnstone

Country: New Zealand

Age: 24

New Zealander Clarke has been based in Stroud, Gloucestershire, for the latter part of this season. He was a member of the bronze medal-winning Kiwi team at last year’s WEG and so far this year has enjoyed a phenomenal run of success winning the first two FEI World Cup Eventing competitions at Kihikihi and Syndey with Orient Express.

Although this will be the young Kiwi’s first trip to Burghley, he will certainly be looking to make his mark with next year’s Olympics in mind.
