Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on February 09, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Chris Kappler! May your day be filled with more joy than the moment you soared over those Olympic fences in Athens 2004. We still haven't figured out if it was skill, luck, or secret horse-whispering magic that earned you that golden team medal—but whatever it was, keep doing it!

Here's wishing you another year of clear rounds and fewer refusals (both from horses and life). May your celebrations today rival the thrill of standing atop the podium—just remember to dismount before blowing out candles. Cheers to a champion whose legacy jumps higher every year!
