Whitaker family

[helencharlie]

I have been watching Olympia and was wondering just how many Whitakers out there that are SJ?

 

[TFS]

i think that question is abit like asking how long is a piece of string lol

 

[Rachel_M]

Ooh they did a family tree, on the BBC Olympia coverage, and there were lots.

Not a greatest of help, I know, but I just thought I would mention it!

 

[welshchick]

I saw the family tree too! Not all of them showjump though.

 

[Rachel_M]

HOW cute was Micheal Whitaker's daughter? Awwww

 

[manicmare]

I think there is 21 immediate family

She was so sweet!

 

[Rachel_M]

Who was Veronica married to?

 

[welshchick]

Michael.

 

[equiweb]

Mum and Dad had 4 sons - Ian, Michael, John, Stephen and each of them has 4 children (if memory serves me right)

 

[Cobland]

Think that William is Ians son, Ellen is Stephens daughter or its the other way around. Michaels eldest is 6 so not quite ready for olympia yet

 

[FRESHMAN]

Whitaker Family Tree
Enid & Donald (Donald sadly died a couple of years ago)
John married to Clair
Louise Robert & Joanne (all ride)
Steven married to Carol
Ellen Joe Thomas & Donald (all ride)
Michael with partner Mellisa
Molly & Jack & possibly another young one (not riding yet)
Ian married to Alison
William George & Jim (all ride)
Some family where SJ is concerned dont you think.
I think that John & Michael are absolutely brilliant. But William is going to be even better. Also Grandma Enid who taught all her sons to ride also taught William when he started riding (lives next door) Gran must be one hell of a teacher!

Stalker or Whittaker undercover?

 

[FRESHMAN]

Not a stalker at all, they live very close to me & I know them well. Just trying to be helpful to OP

 

[Tillywilly]

Im only teasing Freshman fear not.

 

[helencharlie]

Thank you FRESHMAN. That explains to me why so many Whitakars appear on the circuit. Would be great to have a lesson with Gran.
I think that Wiiliam will probably be better than the rest of the family after watching him ride in the puissance

 

[Rachel_M]

Which of the Whitaker's give lessons?

 

[Zobaby]

is there not a jordan whitaker (girl!)
i saw a wee article on her in horse and hound a couple of years ago cos she had won a 148cm bsja class. it sounded like a classic whitaker thing to me - jumping 1.20 tracks on a 14.2hh!
maybe it was a different whitaker and just a coincidence!

 

[Rachel_M]

Jordan Whittaker (With 2 x T). She is from the family that owns the Whittaker horseboxes.

Not the same Whitakers.

 

[seza]

I think there are also other cousins that ride possibly Joe Clayton?

 

[madgirl]

yer thats right.

 

[VLHIEASTON]

I reckon Ellen is the best.

 

[Horsey_Gal]

I know Jordan Whittaker, a young girl. Her father died in a car crash not so long ago, if my memory serves me right.

 

[JamilaParr]

yeh i was gonan say that jordan whitaker (pony rider) isn't the 'actual' whitakers lol and will whitaker was on a good hrose in the puissance lol

not saying he isnt a good rider,,,, he really is

 

[SJFAN]

Jordan has a sister, Dominique.
