John Whitaker, a true legend within the equestrian world, celebrated his 70th birthday a week ago, and these words demonstrate exactly why he has been so successful during his decades-long career.
First and foremost, he takes the time to establish a relationship with each of his horses, meaning that they want to try their best for him, and he for them. Once you and your horse form a partnership, based on a mutual love and respect, everything else becomes so much easier.
