Hiroshi Hoketsu

Hiroshi Hoketsu, probably the world's oldest international equestrian rider at the age 75, rode Brioni W, 15-year-old Westfalen stallion (Breitling W x Diego xx) that he bought at the end of 2015.


The Westfalen stallion (Breitling W x Diego xx) had been competed at Big Tour for five years by Brigitte Wittig of Germany.


Competed in jumping at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964.


Forty-four years later he rode his Whisper in dressage at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and then at the London Games in 2012. He rode Calambo on the Japanese team at the World Games in Aachen, Germany in 2006,
