There is no "I" in team.

As the daughter of Olympian and Canadian legend Ian Millar, Amy Millar was born into the equestrian sport. She began riding horses at an early age on the family farm, spending every possible moment in the barn surrounded by her family’s horses. Amy entered the Grand Prix ranks at just 19 years old and has since achieved numerous international successes with various equine partners.

​

In early 2010, Amy took a step away from competition to become a mother with the birth of her daughter, Lily. She paused her career again in 2018 to welcome her son, Alexander. Despite these breaks, Amy returned to the show ring with impressive results, equally balancing her equestrian career and motherhood.

​

Amy was named to her first Olympic Games in 2016, competing aboard her talented 9-year-old gelding, Heros. The following year, she was crowned Canadian Show Jumping Champion. In recent years, Amy's show career has been extremely successful, securing numerous FEI wins across Canada and the US. She remains a mainstay on the Canadian show jumping team and was a member of the gold-winning team at the Spruce Meadows Nations Cup in 2021 and the bronze-winning team in 2023. In 2022, Amy rode for Canada at the World Championships. After securing her spot on Team Canada for the 2023 Pan American Games, she helped the team bring home a silver medal and placed 6th individually with Truman. Her performance contributed to Team Canada's qualification for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Currently, Amy rides for Team Eye Candy in Major League Show Jumping and will proudly represent Team Canada at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Show jumping legend Ian Millar, fondly known as "Captain Canada," is the most decorated equestrian in Canadian history. Ian's illustrious career includes a record-breaking ten Olympic appearances, the most by any athlete in any sport, which he achieved with Team Canada at the London 2012 Olympics. He is also a twelve-time winner of the Canadian Show Jumping Championship.

Ian's success extends to the Pan American Games, where he earned an impressive nine medals, more than any other show jumper. He claimed Individual Gold medals at the Pan American Games twice, first in 1987 with Big Ben and again in 1999 with Ivar.

In February 2023, Equestrian Canada appointed Millar as the new Chef d'Équipe for the Canadian Show Jumping Team. In the press release, he stated, "It has been my great honour to ride for Canada for the better part of 50 years. This is my opportunity to give back, and it is with further honour that I do so."

Ian's son and daughter-in-law successfully run the US branch of the family business, Millar Brooke South.
