Tim Stockdale....
I think he would be straight to the point no bullsh@t etc He always seems very down to earth and i dont think he would laugh at our jumping abilities (or lack off
) He could be the man who could get me jumping again
geoff billington i just think he a great rider and funny i think you would be able to enjoy yourself rather than be embaressed or worried about making mistakes
Alternatively, and probably a more attainable goal, I reeeeeally want a lesson with Jennie L-C. I love her sense of humour, and her no-nonsense style would suit me down to the ground!
Ive been very fortunate to had a lesson with Tim S many yrs ago and yes hes very straight forward and expects 100% from both horse and rider. Would definately go again if he came back up to scotland.
Or possibly Jessica K shes straight talking too
After going to an Emilie F demo would like a lesson from him not that im a dressage diva!
Pippa Funnell- she is already an inspiration to me and I like her determined attitude and her way with horses, and i'm pretty sure she would tell it just how it is, which would suit me down to the ground. A lesson with her would absolutely be a dream come true.
Alternatively- William Fox-Pitt. He always looks so effortless in the way he rides and sits so quietly... and I would love for that to rub off on me, plus he seems like a generally lovely guy!
Was lucky enough to have a lesson with Jeanette Brakewell! that was an experience!
Does Mary Wanless count?? Probably not, she's famous but not pro.
Mary King, or Geoff Billo because I think Claire 22 is right he'd be the biggest laugh. He'd be my no.1 choice of people I'd like to go for a drink with, too!
I have lessons with Jennie L-C, she is amazing but my favourite would be David Hunt, he took a session at the British Dressage Trainers Forum last year and was so good, just talks common sense but a very no nonsense type so would have to be on best behaviour

Chris Bartle - Have seen a demo and would love a lesson. I think he'd get a tune out of just about any horse.

I've had 2 lessons with Chris - and both were great. Planning to go back again soon. He even rode Ludo at the 2nd lesson and when I got back on board, was like riding a completely different horse.
Due to a friend who knows her really well I'm in the process of booking a surprise lesson for my 11 year old daugher with Lucinda Fredericks. Can't wait to get it arranged and see the look on her face when she finds out!
