Are you Team William or Team Andrew?!

Not really a fair comment...

He's had Lionheart from a 6yr old at PN, Cool Mountain from a 6yr old at N, Oslo since a 5yr old at PN, Neuf Des Cours from a 6yr old at N, Bay My Hero from a 6yr old at N.

Most of his up and coming younger horses he has had from a similar age and level. Granted, his is in no way a hard luck story, but it is a little unfair to say his horses are bought readymade, when the majority of them he has had from youngsters and brought up the levels himself.

Andrew all the way... He's made every single horse of his into a star having built them up from nothing. I love his guts and courage& determination. William buys his horses ready made.

Hahaha that has to be the most incorrect sweeping statement I've ever seen on HHO, which really is saying something!

I am sitting on the fence here, and getting splinters etc. I honestly cannot decide, I rate them both hugely, both are absolutely supreme horsemen.
 
Would love William to won with the history, and I think he is such an effortlessly classy rider that he deserves it

Sandra Affuth(sp?)h for me - I love her horse, she has been the bridesmaid quite a lot and I think must be due a big win.

Opgun Louvo has to be one of those most stunning and talented event horses out there. I saw him SJ at the Olympics last year and he never looked like touching a fence, better in fact than Sam. But he indicated some possible stamina concerns when he tired late on in the Olympic XC.
 
I have to say I have a soft spot for Andrew Nicholson, having watched him I love the way he is with his horses. WFP however, is an awesome rider....so I think I will have to sit on the fence with kerilli for now :-)
 
Team William for me! They are both amazing horsemen and if I could ride 1/10th as well as them Id be delighted but Im another who's never really warmed to AN as much in interviews etc, not sure what it is.
Either way I think it could be a very exciting event!
 
See I'm really nasty, I'm just hoping Micheal Jung doesn't win, really bad of me but someone needs to beat him!!! :D

I can't decide between WFP and AN. Love AN xc at the moment but think WFP will be above from the dressage and then a chasing game and nerves!!!

Would love a girl to win though, especially when everyone is talking about the '3 Big Boys'! :D
 
Having watched the XC course preview, I don't think it will be a dressage competition!! I can not decide who I want to win, although I total outsider would be very exciting!!

Whatever happens, all riders and horses home safely please!!
 
Team Andrew.

I know there is the history but there were 3 people involved in it and she left William/chose Andrew for what ever reason.
 
Team Andrew absolutely. He's a proper grafter and a true horseman.
But having worked for him I may be a little biased.
William always seems to have had the money and everything set up for him whereas Andrew has worked his way up. Many moons ago he was a groom for Mark Todd.
AN makes the toughest XC courses look easy on almost any horse. A joy to watch.

I have always been a patriotic member of Team WFP at heart but after watching Andrew's breathtaking performance at Kentucky, and the fact that he used to ride Murphy, I am very surprised to find myself saying that I would be happy for either of them to take the grandslam. They are absolutely phenomenal horsemen and both so deserving of the title.

I have to say I am a bit bored of the balding German ;) :p so let's hope the grandslam is won one way or another!!

Me too...may the best person win!
 
50.5% WFP 49.5% AN

Ignoring all the history between them they are both brilliant riders and both deserve to win.

I almost feel guilty for not being 100% WFP :o
 
Team William!!!!!! My mother has the biggest crush on 'foxy-pitt' :D

Sam Watson's tweet from last year has cropped up again (pretending to be Andrew)
'won again, driving home at 97mph, getting jiggy with wiggy (LOL), riding 32 horses tomorrow'
Sums it up for me :D
 
Team William all the way :D

I think they are both absolutely outstanding riders and both would deserve to win equally imo, but as some other posters have said, I have just never warmed to AN?

We shall see on the day!!
 
Team Nicholson for me although dont think either of them have decided their horses yet having only just got back from Kentucky this am!
 
SC, unfortunately not :(
At addington sat/sun then at woodlander on Monday.
Have fun, looks like it will be some cracking competition!

If I'm being patriotic, I'm on team William.

If I'm listening to my raging hormones, I want to be on ;-) Andrew! His team obviously...!

Something about him just does it for me!!
