Thought it'd be interesting to see if/how peoples attitudes have maybe changed over this year on our top riders? They're obviously more in the limelight than most of us, so gossip comes and goes whether it's true or not.
Not wanting to start a free for all on slating people so please keep it diplomatic!
For me, people like Carl Hester and Oliver Townend have gone way up in my estimations... Carl for obvious reasons with his success in Rotterdam( and I'm not dressagey!!!) he is a true professional, and what a rider.... stunning!
Oliver because I had the pleasure of training with him earlier this year and so saw his training techniques first hand... a top bloke and really knows what he's talking about... and can't help but be impressed by his rise to the top! :)
Down in my estimations would probably be Michael Whitaker, but not going to post why on here, not for me to say :)
What about you? Not necessarily just top riders either.... maybe local people.... :)
 
Ellen Whittaker... Down. For her stupidity.

Used to really admire that young lady.

Can see your point... although I have to say it's a mistake so many people make... just so happens she's someone who is out in the public eye! Not condoning it though, agree that it was a very silly mistake to make, but hopefully one she'll learn from...!
