Not sure if it's unique but is he wearing a snaffle and a hackamore with pelham (type?) roundings and one rein?

1) Who has won more titles (euros/world/olympic) John or Michael Whittaker?
John

Which is the only 4* Andrew Nicholson has won?
Burghley. On that uber-quirky one that totally forgot to fold its front legs at 1 jump - he deserved the win just for staying on that!

3) How many gold medals at the Olympics did Rembrandt and Nicole Uphoff win?
Eek, one or two, before the horse was kicked in a prize giving ending his career... ummm, 2? (Oops, 2 individual golds, team i took as given, so 4 total?)

Dressage, no clue - umm, 1990. (prob wildly out there too.)

Umm, no clue... Somebody Whitaker, somebody else Whitaker, Robert Smith, ummm.
