Just a ponder - which UK celebs have horses?

Jennifer Saunders i think - she was talking about driving her horse box really slowly on top gear lol!
Also Frank Brunos daughter used to jump against me when i was about 14 - dont know if they still have horses though.
 
I went on a riding holiday years ago with jennifer saunders daughter and they have horses. She hadn't brought her own horse on this occasion though.
 
William Roache (Ken Barlow)'s daughter had ponies about 10 years ago, I don't know if she still has.

Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street - his dad owns racehorses
 
Michael Owen's wife/girlfriend (can't remember her name) re-habilitates ex-racers (they actually own a stud)

Antony Head (Giles in Buffy - The guy in the old Nescafe ads) has horses, his wife actually teaches TTouch....
 
Michael Schumacher and his wife have loads of horses! It was rumoured when he 'retired' from F1 that he was going to become his wife's groom instead - I think she show jumps. He rides Western, and I believe is very talented in the saddle!

ETA just found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRRgS3vmlsw :D

ETA have now read the thread title properly and seen 'UK' on it. Ooops. I always have been obsessed with Germans :D

Years ago Antony Andrews was competing (Brideshead Revised was big at the time) at a show we were at. His wife Georgina has lovely show horses including a very successful side saddle horse.

Jethro the comedian has a stud and top show hunters.

Know of a couple of others but being secretive and won't name them.
 
Philippe Albert's (OK so he's not 'native' as such but he did used to play football for Newcastle United!) wife and daughter used to keep their horses at my riding school......His wife's gelding was an absolute stunner actually!

Darn it I was going to say that!

Patrick Swayze had horses, quarter horses and arabs.

Apparently Jennifer Saunders' horse is called Shoola - named after the riding instructor/livery yard owner in The Archers.
 
My friends daughter had her riding lesson cancelled by her Instructor because Will Young had booked a hack out on one of the riding school horses......
 
one me the weather girls does too, a few years back she was on about starting her own clothing range. Can't remember which!
 
Des O'Connor used to have horses (and if you have never heard of him then consider yourself blessed!) I used to have to take him out hacking now and then. I made him swear never to sing!
 
I met Lord Saville of Newdigate (who chaired the Bloody Sunday Inquiry) going for a lesson at the place I used to go, as I was heading out for a hack, he was really keen to learn how to tack up :) not sure if that counts as a celeb!!!

Did you ever see the French and Saunders riding sketch? Where they had ponies called Peter Pan and Jigsaw, it was hilarious and they both looked like they could ride quite well even though it was a piss take!

Didn't Jo Brand used to ride?

Also David Dimbleby's wife has horses too.
