After winning a team gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics, Ben Maher went on to snag an individual silver and another team gold at the European Championships, and now has officially been ranked the World Number One Showjumper, which pretty much tells you how good of a year he’s had. “British Showjumping is on a high and is back where it should be, at the top and winning,” said world class show jumping performance manager Rob Hoekstra. “The gold medal win at the London olympics was purely a start, we now find ourselves twelve months later with another team gold under our belts along with two individual medals.” Despite the fact that this isn’t strictly an Eventing video, I still think it’s fascinating to get the perspective of somebody who is currently so unbelievably successful at the top levels of their sport, and besides, I’m sure we could all stand to learn a little something from Mr. Maher!
