Boyd Martin relocated to the United States from Australia in 2007 to pursue his dreams of competing in international three-day eventing. As the son of an American citizen he has always enjoyed dual citizenship, and in 2009 he officially began representing the United States in International competition.

Prior to moving to the U.S., Boyd was extremely successful in Australia. The highlight of his competitive career there was winning the 2003 Adelaide CCI**** riding True Blue Toozac. He spent his first two years in the United States working as assistant trainer to Olympic Gold Medalist Phillip Dutton before striking out on his own.

Boyd has enjoyed international success, representing the United States at the 2010 Alltech Equestrian Games in Lexington, KY and the 2012 Olympic Games in London. He has also had top finishes at the Pau CCI*** (France), Boekelo CIC**** (the Netherlands) and Burghley CCI**** (England). 

After overcoming great adversity including a devastating barn fire and the deaths of his father and father-in-law in 2011, Boyd and Neville made an amazing comeback to finish 7th at Burghley, the toughest event in the world. Boyd finished 2011 ranked 8th on the HSBC World Rankings, Neville Bardos was named the 2011 International Horse of the Year by the USEF, and The Chronicle of the Horse named Boyd its 2011 Overall Rider of the Year.
