He was a member of Australia's gold medal three-day eventing team at the 1996 Atlanta and 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, and in 2006 he announced a change of citizenship so that he could ride for the United States. He later won an individual bronze medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He received the Medal of the Order of Australia in 1997 and was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2001.
