He is the only rider to have won five out of the six CCI5* events around the world, including winning Burghley an incredible six times and Badminton twice. William has also won three Olympic medals, seven team gold European medals and was the first British rider to become eventing’s World No 1 in 2002, which he went on to achieve again in 2009, 2010 and 2014.

We hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as we loved making it.
