John Whitaker – The Legend.

The article in Horse & Hound magazine discusses the life story of showjumping legend Milton, as told in a newly released biography. Milton, originally named Marius, became a showjumping sensation under the care of Caroline, who tragically passed away before seeing her dream fulfilled. John Whitaker then took over Milton's ride, forming a successful partnership that led to numerous international victories and championship titles, including a memorable win at the 1989 Europeans. Despite Milton's success, Whitaker still considers another horse, Ryan's Son, to be the most important in his career. [Extracted from the article]
