John Whitaker makes progress
Britain’s number one show jumper John Whitaker is reported to be making steady progress in hospital where he is recovering from an emergency operation after suffering a cerebral haemorrhage last week.
John’s wife Claire contacted Horse & Houndmagazine to reassure readers that John is “doing well” and thanked everyone for all their messages of support and goodwill.
It is hoped that John will be well enough to travel home early next week.
