Jack Curtis

Jack Curtis is an American international event rider originally from the North Shore of Boston, Massachusetts, currently based in Gloucestershire, England, where he trains alongside Olympic gold medalist Tom McEwen.

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Jack developed a passion for horses and the sport of three-day eventing from a young age. His dedication to the sport saw him progress through the American eventing ranks, with aspirations of representing the United States at the highest levels of international competition.

In 2024, Jack achieved a significant milestone in his career, winning the MARS Bromont International CCIU25 3*S in Canada aboard his longtime partner, Luska Candy Clover, affectionately known as Roo. This success contributed to his finishing third in the prestigious USEA Young Rider of the Year rankings, establishing him as one of America’s promising young eventing talents.

Jack continued his success in 2025, stepping up to the four-star level with Luska Candy Clover. A standout performance came at the Rebecca Farm International Horse Trials in Montana, where the pair finished fourth in the CCI4S. That same year, Jack was awarded the USEA Foundation Rebecca Farm Travel Grant and earned the title of USEF CCI3 U25 Reserve Champion.

Following his performances on the international stage, Jack was named to the 2026 USEF Development 25 Program, an initiative designed to identify and support the next generation of American athletes with the potential to represent the United States at senior championship level.

In June 2026, Jack made the move across the Atlantic to pursue his lifelong ambition of training and competing in Europe. He established his base in Gloucestershire, England, under the guidance of Olympic gold medalist Tom McEwen, marking an exciting new chapter in his professional career.

The 2026 season proved to be a breakthrough year for Jack and Luska Candy Clover. Representing the United States at the FEI U25 World Championships, the combination finished sixth individually against some of the world’s leading young riders.

Building on this success, Jack was selected to represent the United States on the Defender U.S. Eventing Nations Cup Team at Military Boekelo in the Netherlands. Making their CCI4*L debut, Jack and Roo finished an impressive 23rd out of 94 international competitors, while also claiming victory in the Under 25 division. The result marked a significant milestone in Jack’s career and further demonstrated the combination’s potential at the highest levels of the sport.

Following a successful first season competing in Europe, Jack made the decision to extend his stay in England to continue developing under Tom McEwen’s guidance. With an expanding string of talented horses, Jack is focused on producing horses for future international championships and progressing toward five-star competition.

As a member of the USEF Development 25 Program, Jack remains committed to establishing himself among the next generation of American eventing athletes. With his sights firmly set on the future, his ultimate ambition is to represent the United States on the world stage for years to come.
