Any of you had a lesson with such riders (those that participate/participated in big international events such as the Olympics et al.)???
If so, who with... and how was it?

Had a couple with Rob Whitaker when I was working up there and he was pretty useless, but the ones I got with John were so helpful I wonder what I did before them!!

Lucinda Green and Geoff Billington.
Both were absolutely great!
Lucinda came to our place (eek!), many years ago, i'm on rescued pony, rest of group on nice horses, she gave me lots of confidence that i + old pony could do it, + we did. Others, er, didn't. What i remember is how encouraging she was, + i still abide by the 'legs forward, look up, stay behind movement' (got me out of a few sticky things in later years!) Lovely lady. X
Geoff was brill. He taught total novices struggling over x-poles (while i'm questioning why RC doesn't weed em out, for a trainer of his calibre), then he got likes of me, then moved on to more serious. I watched all. What i enjoyed most were his (private + very funny) quips to me about the most serious!! (I was once offered a job on his yard, after he approached my boss for an AI, many moons ago, but he didn't remember me.) He was so funny, yet knew so much X
With greatest respect for the 2 'greats' i've had lessons with, BS x

I used to (maybe 5 yrs ago) have lessons with Laura Fry, and she was absolutely fabulous.
Then I moved to Germany and I must say the training here is even better.

Chris Bartle - & he's very good. Though maybe a touch eccentric? Sorted my jumping out in about 2 lessons though.

I am having a lesson today with someone who trained with Chris Bartle which doesn't really count does it?
Doesn't stop me being excited though!
I have had a lesson with Geoff Billington, which was ok. Normally have lessons with Angie Bell, who is not Olympic but still very good, very nice person too and always have a laugh with her (ok, mostly at my expense, but I am funny to watch!!)
