John Whitaker is one of our most requested guests and you can see why. With a career spanning more than 40 years, he’s won everything there is to win, including three Olympic medals, five World Championship medals and thirteen European Championship medals. He chats about longevity at the top of the sport, the mindset required to keep improving, and how showjumping has evolved over the decades. Plus, what keeps him competing at 70 years old. Helping make sense of the family tree are Donald Whitaker, a key contributor to Britain’s 2025 European team silver and historic Nations Cup victory, and Jack Whitaker, a top competitor at senior level in Nations Cups, World Cup classes and the Global Champions Tour. If you’ve always wanted to know what Christmas is like for the Whitaker family, their tips for spooky horses, or what they eat for breakfast, this is the one for you.
