Milton was a grey gelding born in 1977, sired by the Dutch warmblood Marius who jumped internationally, his mother was an Irish Draught jumping mare Aston Answers. As a young horse Milton was competed by British rider Caroline Bradley who had jumped his father Marius, Caroline Bradley had lots of success on the young grey Milton and had hopes, but after her untimely death Milton would be ridden by Stephen Hadley for a short amount of time and then afterwards John Whitaker.
