I've been in a comp in Middx (about 7 years ago) & she was in my jumping class.
She's got b@!!$ & at the time had a great horse.
I like her, she just sets her sights on something & goes for it.
well i watch her tv series and she does keep horses at home because i have seen episodes with pete chasing loose ponies round so she has at least at some point stabled at home she has all the facilities.
She is actually a very good rider one of the first things she did on tv was a show where she went undercover to work at some stables [going back years now cant even remember what the show was called] she got rumbled obviously cos her boobs give her away.
I say good on her we all have dreams she is no different and should not get slated because she has celeb status she has worked her butt off for years and she is a down to earth self made lady everything she has she has herself to thank for she was not born into money she has grafted.
personally i would love to see someone like her competing at top level comps she could bring some normality to what i find to be a very boring part of competing if she was to ride in dressage comps i may even start watching them one things for sure she would give some corking interviews pmsl

i can promise you her dressage horses are not kept at home!! she might have ponies at home, i dont know.

she actually has about ten horses from what has been said on her tv show i know the kids all have a pony each and pete was chasing one on the second or first series i remember that.
I dare say she dosent keep her very expensive ones at home if she is away all the time they will need around the clock care and exercising and plus if they are pricey [excuse the punn] she will want them where there is good security.

Good for her! Anything that makes riding seem less elitist can only be a good thing in my book. I have a lot of time for KP; she is nobody's fool.

yep why i like her she stands no nonsense and says it like it is woman after my own heart,i just think she is a beautiful person on the inside aswell as out,she is a devoted mother,wife,bloody hard worker,honest,open she is just down to earth in general.
Im not down on Saturday, i was but it wouldve meant coming on my own as my mum is doing something else and its a long drive (2 1/2 hrs) and i hate the drive back as i always get really tired. Tried to swap to Monday but A is busy. Got one next sunday tho at 11 - you around? x
Good for her - she's earned her money, she may as well go out and enjoy it.
I wonder if she actually mentioned the Olympics though or if the Sun were just told she wanted to compete at a high level and that was the only high level competition they could think of ; )

i'd love to see her start competing, it can only be good to get some more glamour into and attention on the sport. as to making it to the Olympics.... well, i've always thought she comes across as very grounded, so i'd be surprised if that wasn't SUNbull****, but if the horse is good enough, anything's possible. good luck to her, i think she's great.

It was a series called "Faking It" I saw it too but didn't know who she was back then!!!!!!!!!!!!
The one thing i like about Katie Price is that she really couldnt care less what people say about her, which shows she is quite a confident person, she is what she is and never tries to be anything but herself! Good for her, and by the way she hates most horsey people! lol!

my god did faking it start that long ago it must be ten years or so since i saw that,i dont think anyone really knew who she was back then she was just starting out i think an raising her profile.
I've seen another programme (not faking it) with her riding in it - she was riding one of her horses I think...she looked like a nice rider...quiet and straightforward ...just simple and not trying to be clever in front of the cameras...or muck about with the horse.
I like her anyway and wish her luck.
And I bet she could do it, too. It wouldn't harm the industry for her to 'up' its profile, though I am finding it difficult to get my head around all that pink
.
Maybe her and Madge culd have a ride-off
I don't know anything about her natural talent, but if Anni Macdonald-Hall can do it on a horse won in a game of Backgammon.............
Good on her i say! Nothing wrong with having that kind of ambition and if she has the trainer and the horses then I don't see why she shouldn't aim big!!
I do hope if she does go she doesn't show us up though, lol
Good luck to her. Wasn't there an article in H&H about her, bout a year ago now, saying how her first horse was an ex-racer but she loved it and about how much she loves mucking out? If she can ride well then good luck to her, boobs may be a problem though.
I cant see why she would not managed it she is a very determined woman and strives to get what she wants.
Go Katie, we would all do the same if we could, but say it will be harder for her than anyone else as one bad ride and the press will slate her
