Celebrity riders Ian Millar and his family are Canadian celebrities, a fact that Hello! Canada magazine has come to realize. The Perth-area equestrian rider and his children, Jonathon and Amy, will be featured in the May 8 issue of the magazine. They welcomed representatives of the magazine to Millar Brooke Farm in April. The magazine points out that Hello!’s worldwide mandate is to celebrate celebrities and promote their personal accomplishments. It calls Ian Millar one of Canada’s most treasured icons, and says he showed off his 600-acre estate and discussed his and his children’s love of all things equine, as well as his late wife, Lynn. The magazine will be on newsstands until May 24. Ian Millar left for Europe last week to compete in Belgium. He and other Olympic hopefuls Jill Henselwood and Eric Lamaze competed from Thursday to Sunday as individuals, and as a team on Friday. Canada’s Olympic show-jumping team will be named by June 30. If Millar is named to the team, he will ride the 13-year-old gelding In Style during competition.
