Karl started riding in the Pony Club where he competed at an early age on the show-jumping circuit before moving up to bigger horses and developing a taste for team-chasing. It was at school that he first tried polo – a sport that he now plays professionally – both in this country and overseas. As the founder of "The Knights of Middle England” Karl has been performing action-packed, jousting stunt-shows all over Europe for the last 10 years. He also co-runs the family equestrian centre in Warwickshire. Karl is a professional actor and has worked in both the theatre (incl. The RSC) as well as for ITV, BBC and C4. As if all this wasn’t enough Karl also works as a presenter in the Fashion industry... is there no end to his talent! |
