Is Carl Hester breaking BD and FEI rules?

i'm sorry...i know this post needs putting to bed now but i really don't think that equestrian sports have problems with sponsorship because Dressage riders are sometimes gay or camp or because some dressage riders got drunk with katire price if it came down to such minute details then other big name sports stars wouldn't have sponsors but they seem to?

My post doesn't mention anything about sponsorship being based on the sexuality of a competitor and yes some banks have supported Zara Phillips for example. In fact the feedback I got was nothing about sexuality it was more the number of falls / deaths in eventing and the antics of some of the showjumpers. I think its only recently that dressage has been in the spotlight, in the main through Sophie Christensen who i think has been a fabulous benefit ( anyone remember her in the papers with Paul McCartney ) and on the flip side the circus that is Jordan who I agree raises the profile in a deadly dull sport but not necessarily for the right reasons.

you may be homophobic but please realise that such intolerance is hugely frowned upon in today's society so i suggest you keep such opinions to yourself from now on

How dare you label me as a homo phobe ! Its people like you that our sport doesnt need .

Who said anything about Katie Price ...again jumping to conclusions !!

See as i said you can not see the bigger picture..ie trying to attract famillys to our events...tv companies ect.

what the hell!? it wasn't me saying that camp people were bringing a bad image to the sport and that they should tone down!! i'm all for freedom of speech but not when it negatively targets specific groups in society- be they gay, straight, black, white, purple ad infinitum! i have to do a lot of equal ops training because of my job and its amazing that people sit there saying things that they don't even realise are prejudiced/ stereotyped or whatever! and who said ignorance was bliss??!

just out of interest which dressage riders were you referring to in the tabloids then if not KP and SW?

Am I the only one who feels mildly embarrassed by this whole thread (by association - I haven't commented on it anywhere) and who thinks it should probably be put to bed now?

me too

this whole thread is ridiculous...a petty arguement that has escalated far beyond what is classed as ''too far''. Give it a rest guys. a question was asked (even if it may seem to some rude) it was answered (to some it may seem to have been rude) - end of thread.

there was no need to continue argueing for 5 pages.

I also think that many of the riders need to tone down on their campness at shows it drives me mad and is not very professional !

Oh how I adore blatant ignorant comments like this!!
Peter must remember when next at a show, not to speak like Orvill the duck, mince round the course and to not stand like a tea pot!
All in all aside- Ive read through the posts, but the one that stands out as the most cattish goes to post numero uno!
 
LOL and you lot wonder why a lot of people are put off from asking for advice on this forum.. a lot of you ( not all.. don't lynch me!) should be totally ashamed of yourselves.. I rarely post here unless its super important ( missing or stolen horses for example) just for this reason.. kindergarden stuff.. shocking! I'm amazed that Horse and Hound are advertising this in their latest emailout TBH!
 
This thread is a real disgrace, I am shocked by some of the post on here, probably the worst one I have read so far, and that took some beating.

In answer to the OP the answer is NO, otherwise he would have been eliminated, plain and simple.

Ditto but I have noticed that a lot of the very aggressive comments or out of order ones have come from newbies, or people with low post counts....just after some attention and they got it
