Ian Smythe as every time he rode my cob in the ring, he went so well for him, i couldnt believe that was my horse. Would have loved to have seen him ridden by Robert Oliver.
Mary King would be my absolute top choice, probably the only one i'd trust enough and feel i might be able to ride the horse again afterwards! If I had a real showjumper, John Whittaker.
oooo what a really good question,,, eerrrrm got my brain ticking!!!!
for the eventa = andrew nic
for the SJ = Jess kurten(sp)
for the dressage horse = Laura Bsummut(i cant spell surname and am not going to insult her by trying) i think shes based at the talland)
calm down you lot. and if it were an eventer i cant really choose because i might offend one of my friends but probably Francis Whittington or Ants Mckeowen. Nicholas Touzaint if abroad.
showjumpers over here i think Dan Neilson and William Whitaker both ride beautifully, on the continent Kevin Staut or Jamie Wingrave same reason and i habe no preference in dressage riders! Good question by the way.
To event Hatts i'd love Francis Whittington or Sarah Cohen (she's great with the mares!) although think Lucinda Fredericks would be great with Hatts too
I'd hope John Whittaker would like my horse as he's bred like a 1970's SJ - half-bred with plenty of Clydesdale blood. He's a little bit like Ryan's Son (in my dreams
)
Eventing - they'd have to not be a full-TB sort of person. I'd be tempted by Mary King, but I'd like to be able to persuade Ian Stark out of retirement.
I know she's not everyone fav rider.. but i'd have to say Pippa F... if anyone can sort out Ernie's dressage it would be her.. and in returne he'd give her a fab ride XC
