Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on January 02, 1969)

Happy Birthday, William Fox-Pitt! You've jumped through more obstacles than the average commuter faces in a lifetime—winning two Olympic silver medals along the way. With countless victories at prestigious events like Burghley, Badminton and Kentucky under your belt (or saddle), you're basically equestrian royalty. Honestly, we're starting to suspect you've negotiated some secret deal with gravity!

Here's hoping today brings fewer hurdles and enough cake to fuel another decade of breathtaking rides. Keep chasing greatness—after all these years atop horses making history, you still refuse to take 'neigh' for an answer. Many happy returns from fans everywhere!
