British showjumping legend Harvey Smith in Paris 1983

This year the British Showjumping announced Harvey Smith, together with David Broome, as International Ambassador for British Showjumping with this motivation:

“Both David and Harvey, as a result of the incredible  success and contribution they made to the sport are still household  names globally as are many of the horses they competed during their  illustrious careers that spanned four decades. Careers which saw them  consistently secure both Championship and Olympic medals for Great  Britain placing showjumping not only on the map but also into almost  every persons living room during the 1970’s-80’s due to the consistent  high profile television and media coverage they brought with them. With both men having performed with such unswerving success for such a significant time, the depth of knowledge and insight that David and Harvey bring with them is insurmountable.”
