We have learned of the passing of the legendary course designer, Bob Ellis, who has died at the age of 79 following a short illness.

Bob designed from Brazil to New Zealand, with Mexico and South Africa favourites abroad, and Hickstead, Windsor, Olympia and the South of England among his favourites at home.

He was one of a select group within the sport to hold the FEIโ€™s O status, enabling him to design courses at some of the worldโ€™s major competitions. The crowning achievement of his career came at the London Olympics, where he created a series of iconic courses featuring unforgettable fence designs that showcased the very best of Great Britain to a global audience.

Bob will be remembered not only for his outstanding contribution to equestrian sport, but also for his ready smile and infectious sense of humour.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family and friends.
