Family, Husband, & Children

Career

In the early stages of his equestrian career, Karl Cook struggled to make a name for himself. His lack of success was particularly evident in 2012, when he turned 21 and performed poorly at the USEF Olympic Selection Trials. This made him contemplate the possibility of quitting the sport altogether. Eventually, he realized that a fresh start was in order.

As a result, he parted ways with his long-time coaches and teamed up with retired French athlete Eric Navet. During the summer of 2012, he and his horses relocated to Normandy, France, which presented a significant challenge since Karl did not speak French at the time. Nevertheless, he persevered, and eventually found success. In 2014, he won four Grand Prix events riding horses Jonkheer Z and Basimodo.
