Born and raised on his parents’ farm in Yorkshire, Michael and his brother John were taught to ride by their mother, a keen horsewoman. Michael was soon competing on ponies of his own, as well as those of friends. His experience quickly took him on to horses where he earned a reputation as a strong and determined rider. In 1980, Michael became the youngest ever winner of the famous Hickstead Derby at the age of 20. In September 1993 Michael took over from his brother John as the world’s Number One for the first time in his career. In 1999 Michael was the highest placed British rider in the World Cup Final finishing 5th overall with Virtual Village Ashley and he beat this record by finishing third with Handel II in 2001 and second with Portofino 63 in 2005.
