Robert and Equine America Vermento Win The King George V Cup... Again!

What a week at the London International. The Whitakers picked up top placings across the competition. Robert and Vermento flew into 4th place in the Longines World Cup leg. The standout for the week has got to be John and Sharid. The high atmosphere Six Bar Challenge was fiercely battled by top riders, including Sebastian Hughes and Max Kuhner. With a final height of 1.90m, the crowd were on the edge of their seats. The final result? A shared win between John and Sebastian. Well deserved!

John takes his second six bar win of the year!

Three Coynes is a flashy looking stallion by Argento, who has definitely inherited his sires handsome looks and athletic ability. At just 6 years old Three Coynes is showing all the potential to be a top horse, he has a fantastic technique and an incredibly good temperament for a young stallion. 



John describes Three Coynes as ‘scopey, careful he takes everything in his stride and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for him’

Robert becomes the third Whitaker to win the iconic Hickstead Derby, following in the footsteps of John, Michael and William.
