Besides from Katie Price/Toni Terry/ Madonna, can anyone think of any celebrities that can ride or have connections with horse riding?
Thanks - great help!
 
Johnny Depp... he supposedly adopted the horse that he rode in sleepy hollow when it was going to auction or to be destroyed only has one eye so he's my hero (no idea if its true or not but you'd like to think so) and brought amber heard a horse as a gift, lucky girl!

Robbie Williams sister used to ride & of course he does too.
Saw the heavyweight boxing champ vladimir klitchko watching the showjumping (he was sitting with the Ukranian team)at the olympics, maybe he rides.
What's his name Hammond off top gear, him & his wife ride.
Two of our local MP's used to hunt with us (won't mention their names).
Ruby Wax used too & of course Clarissa Dickson-Wright.
Arnold Schwarzeneger (needs a big horse).
 
The Beckhams bought my friends shetland for there kids and Noel Gallagher bought a lovely palomino mare from my old boss for his daughter, he named her Supernova because she was 'Champeign' colour (like the song)
 
Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn in LOTR) is a very accomplished rider.
Patrick Swayze bred arabians and was a very good rider also.
I believe Queen Elizabeth isn't too bad either!!
 
I saw Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham horse riding in the paper recently - she looked rather good but he was definitely out of his comfort zone! She comes from Devon so she may well be horsey.
 
Robert Redford and I think Tommy Lee Jones. Both have/had horse ranches. I know a few footballers' wives have horses but you can't really call them celebrities in the real sense! I was going to say Viggo and Patrick Swayze too. He had some very beautiful horses and Viggo M owns the horse he rode in Lord of The Rings.
 
The late Davy wotsit from The Monkees worked in racing before he was famous.
Michael Owen has a flat racing yard and paid resident trainer.
Bruce Springsteen's daughter is a successful show jumper.
 
One of Patrick Swayze's arabian stallions was called Tammen. I think he was quite famous in his own right! Viggo Mortensen bought two of the horses he rode in LOTR and also the horse he rode in Hidalgo. He also used his 'clout' to bid for a beautiful grey andalalusian stallion from LOTR on behalf of one of the stunt riders/trainers and then gave him to her.

Yes Tommy Lee Jones definately has a rather large ranch and is pretty passionate about polo.
