JOHN WHITAKER TAKES OVER AT HORSE & HOUND THIS WEEK
Wednesday 01 April 2015
This week’s issue of Horse & Hound has been put together by showjumping legend John Whitaker — the fourth and final guest editor in a series of special issues.
In this showjumping special, John exclusively interviews the great Ludger Beerbaum. We find out why they’ve been friends, and rivals, for 30 years, and Ludger explains why he thinks his great mare Ratina Z would have suited John better. And did you know they’ve bought a horse together?
You can also read about why showjumping, more than any other sport, allows riders from the age of 19 to 72 to compete on equal terms at the highest level. Plus, meet some small-time breeders who are hitting the jackpot by producing some world class showjumpers. John also tells us why Scott Brash and Hello Sanctos make “the perfect combination” and we take a trip down memory lane as he reveals why Ryan’s Son is the horse that changed his life.
Don’t miss all this, plus reports from around the country and British successes overseas. It’s out on Thursday, 2 April — with loads more at www.horseandhound.co.uk!
