This fantastic double disc DVD contains two great films about Milton, the white legend of show jumping.

 

Milton "The Millionaire" is a tribute to the greatest horse ever seen in the sport of show jumping. Athletic, graceful, bursting with power, Milton became a legend in his own lifetime. In 1992 he became the first "competition" horse to win over $1,500,000 in prize money.

 

Partnered with tact and style by John Whitaker, the equine superstar became the idol of countless horse lovers all over the world. Narrated by Peter Churchill, this story is also told by John Whitaker, owners Mr. and Mrs. Bradley and a host of other showjumping stars closely connected with the white wonder horse who graced the showjumping circuit during the eighties and early nineties.

"Simply the Best” Showjumping Tour - There will probably never be another showjumping horse like Milton. The brilliant John Whitaker guided the grey horse to all his major victories and John's great horsemanship was such a crucial part of their success.

 

The effervescent Geoff Belington is the perfect foil to the genius of Whitaker. In the program these two friends combine teaching with entertainment and horsemanship with "horsing around!"

 

Add the special ingredient of the immortal grey and you have a show that is "simply the best."

 

Filmed on location and played to a full house of Milton worshippers.
