Wondered how long it was going to take her to decide she was an olympic calibre rider. Also wonder how long it will take her to realise she can't buy her way onto the team.

It is a nice horse. Much as I dislike KP and her ghastly tacky public persona, I do like that last pic.
As for the Olympic thing, remember its the only time dressage really gets on the world stage, and as such the only sort of frame of reference most people have for dressage. When i told my mum i was going to do a dressage competition she thought I'd be wearing a top hat, and cautiously enquired if I thought I was really good enough...!
If her trainer (is that AG?) had said she was aiming for the Petplans, which lets be honest would be a really good achievement in her first season, the journos would have all gone completely blank and then written that she was planning to start up her own horse insurance company !

Oh for heavens sake... get a grip!
She's not said anything of the sort about wanting to compete at the bloody olympics- it's MEDIA HYPE!!!!
Please just leave her alone - she's obviously very dedicated and has a lovely horse - How would you feel if your first ever dressage comp was in the Telegraph??? I know I'd've been devastated as I only scored 50.5%! The poor girl won't be able to do any right...

Go katie! so great that she is showing the sport in a good light, getting some media coverage. I am sure she isn't aiming at the olympics, just media hype. She is however a very good rider.

I love Katie, I met her at my sister's school's charity Ball last year as she was celebrity guest and she is a really lovely down to earth person, sit me on a table next to her anyday, she is better than any Victoria Beckham.
Its the media that has hyped it up, leave her alone, shes a decent girl who has a rare ability to laugh at herself.

as we all know horses arent easy, and as much as she prob has loads of help, schooling/ caring for her horses, i think its great she is doing what she wants to. Not many of us would have to compete knowing that most people want you to f*** up.. fair play i say..

I think she has done very well. She obviously loves her horses and is having fun. I say good luck to her and I do hope she does very well. She may well have a very well schooled horse but she is still the one that has to ride it and learn what buttons to push. Remember the top horses in each discipline are usually the hardest horses to ride.

I think she's fab. She may be rich and famous but life can't be easy with Harvey. I for one thinks she comes across as a genuinely lovely person. Good bloody luck to her whatever her ambitions may be.

She could, but its kind of demeaning to the top riders in the country to suggest someone could go from prelim to Olympic standard in under 4 years!
However thats the papers making that hype, not her as far as I know. Surely she would be more realistic than that.

It's not because she's a celeb that she can't make it to the olympics (look at Zara) but, she's at Prelim level, she has 3 - 4 years to get to Grand Prix level, riding for the British team and travelling abroad all year round. Her trainer says their not aiming for that, it's just the media getting carried away. I'm just being realistic. People are going to think she's C**p now if she doesn't make it, It's the media that's c**p.

It makes me laugh - they say she wants to do the Olympics - doesnt everyone!! Andrew Gould was there and said she is not aiming for Olympics, and dont think she is affiliated to do the PetPlan areas either - but who cares! She went out, did her bit an enjoyed it! Shows how wrong the papers can be - in the telegraph article, is says a statement from Kevin Maple who came 2nd - look on the Dressage at Hickstead results page he actually came 9th - and there were 23 in the class!! We all get nervous when competing - let alone with camera crew/papers/photographers and everyone taking an interest.

She's always had a passion for horses so even if its just prelim or her dream to make it to the Olympics one day, who cares, she's enjoying it, I don't think she is doing this to boost her image, she can't help it if people follow her around with cameras all the time, everybody has to start somewhere and if she can afford an expensive horse to take her to the top then good for her. She's a determined woman with ambition and seems to know her own mind, be it the glamour world or in the equestrian world, if anything this will certainly boost the sport.
Go for it Katie!
