Pemberton, who chaired the FEI Driving Committee from 1995 to 2003, has been involved with the FEI since 1968 and has made a huge impact on equestrian sport. Jack was the last person alive who was on the original committee that formulated the rules for combined driving, when Prince Phillip was President of the FEI.

Jack Pemberton generously donated the trophy which is awarded to the winner of the FEI World Cup™ Driving Final. The first Jack Pemberton trophy was presented to Australia’s Boyd Exell after the 2012 Final.
