The Whitaker family

The incredible Whitaker family has maintained its position at the top of British show jumping for decades. John and Michael have been the main stay of British international teams for so many years and their achievements at the highest level are simply too numerous to mention. Meanwhile, the new generation of the family, represented here by Robert and Ellen, have already proved themselves capable of carrying on the “family business” if their seniors do ever decide to hang up their boots, although there is certainly no sign of that yet!
