I believe that Carl Hester deserves to have a MBE or some other formal acknowledgement for his service to Dressage and equestrian sport.
He has done more for Dressage in the UK than anyone else, certainly increased its profile, and would seem to have given the most fantastic opportunity to Charlotte in order for her to have gained the gold medals at the Olympics.
I do not know of any other Equestrian celebrity who due to his genorosity helped push the career of a virtually unknown rider, by giving her the ride on one of his own horses who for all intense and purposes could have easily been ridden by Carl himself and earnt him the accolade of individual gold.
Also well done to Charlotte as the horse is only as good as its rider.
