  • Where Olympic Athletes Grow Like Trees
    Lanark County: Where Olympic athletes grow like trees... Ian Millar Show jumper Ian Millar, 65, has been nominated to be part of Canada’s equestrian team for London 2012, with an announcement expected July 5. If he is selected to compete, he will have represented Canada at the Olympics 10 times! The Drummond/North Elmsley Township resident has competed in more Olympic Games than any Canadian in history, in any sport, and shares the world record for the number of Olympic starts with retired Austrian yachtsman Huber Raudaschl. In Beijing in 2008, Millar came home with his first Olympic medal, a team silver, which was the first team show jumping medal Canada had won in 40 years. He has earned more medals in the Pan American Games than any other show jumper and broke new ground at the World Cup of show jumping, where he and his legendary partner, Big Ben, became the first ever rider/horse combination to win back-to-back World Cup Finals. He and Big Ben appeared in three Olympics, had two gold-medal wins at the Pan American Games, five consecutive top-eight World Cup finishes and more than 40 grand prix victories. A tribute to Millar and the remarkable Big Ben is located in Perth beside Stewart Park – a breathtaking life-sized bronze statue of the duo. Millar is Canada’s most decorated equestrian, awarded the Order of Canada in 1986. He and Big Ben were inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 1996, and Millar received an honorary doctorate from the University of Guelph in 2005.
