Scott Brash , MBE (born December 5, 1985 in Peebles , Scotland ) is a British show jumper .

At the age of seven, Brash came to horses through his father, a jockey , and rode his first tournament at the age of nine. He contested his first international championship in 2010, at the World Equestrian Games in Lexington , USA , he was ranked 37th singles.

At the 2012 Olympic Games in London, he won the gold medal with the British team, and in the individual, he finished fifth. In 2013 and 2014 he won the overall ranking of the Global Champions Tour .

With victories in the Geneva Grand Prix in 2014, Aachen 2015 and Calgary 2015, Scott Brash became the first rider to win the one million euro Grand Slam for show jumping . He won all three wins with Sanctos . He was criticized for having refrained from competing at the 2015 European Championships and instead placed the Grand Slam at the center of his further season planning. He also won three Global Champions Tour stages this season .

In the following years, Brash refrained from taking part in championships in favor of highly endowed tournament series, and he only represented Great Britain in a few individual Nations Cups. One year after his Grand Slam victory, he again won the world's most valuable jumping competition, the Grand Prix of the Spruce Meadows Masters .

From December 2013 to March 2015 and from May 2015 to February 2016, Brash was the leader in the world jumping rider rankings.
