The one thing that really shocked and upset me about that Badders XC thread...

I walked most of the XC course behind AN, and yes — phwoar! (Said in pervy old man voice) Even got treated to him rolling his trousies up and walking the lake... Mr Darcy moment if ever there was one
 
I mean, just look at this gorgeous dressage couple - is this fair to us women who invest all our livelihood into this sport?

And the Italian show jumper - was he the one with the Top Gun sun glasses?? Eeek. Not for me.
 
not a Sjer he was an eventer at Badders, I'm assuming he fell off as I have a very vivid image of him walking away with his perfect backside, but they just be a fantasy :P
 
No, he definitely fell off, somersaulted in fact. Shame you can't make 'red button' go in slow motion so that you could enjoy the view for longer....
 
Personal

Thoroughbred’ Ackaway.

I agree with the OP, AN is seriously hot!!!

Just to make you jealous, I was stewarding the showjumping at an event last year, he came up to peer over my shoulder at the running order and ask where he was.............. strangely it took me ages to find him.............
 
Do you not think he looks even more Hot now he has glasses on :-0 What is it with him to get more HOT as he has got older!!!

I wonder if he has read this thread!!!

If there was evidence to this, I might feel compelled to post a (heavily photoshopped) picture of myself in a vaguely compromising situation. So for all of our sakes, lets hope not.

And also - where is Blackeventer when you need her? Has she left?
 
I'm really new to this forum but was delighted that such important issues are being discussed!!!
AN is about 20 years older than me but he is insanely hot and the nice thing about him is that i don't think he knows it. OT also a favourite of mine and lives locally to me-my parents met him at the gallops where he exercises his horses, was so jealous!!:D
 
This thread has made me laugh so much!! Ok AN all the way he is hot-the glasses just make him even hotter!! When AN was interviewed for Badders(the "I have no bad habits one!") my sister(who has an extremly hot rugbyplayer BF) commented " AN is so hot he's got that filthy look going on..." What can she mean??!!
 
PMSL re 'freezing the red button' comment... *sigh*, if only we could :-)

Definitely with the AN brigade - lovin the accent too... Paul Tapner is also a bit of a hottie... FW - yum!

OT - ummm, sort of see it but he doesn't really do it for me. Neither did the italian guy - bit tooo smooth if you know what I mean :-)

Kai Ruder looked a bit cute though to throw another name into the mix (if I haven't got totally confused with someone else!!!)

Wonder if FW is following THIS thread, following his post on the Grassroots thread :-) He could see what other support we'd like to offer... he he he :-)
 
Ok, so this is a little late, not been on for a couple of days, but if we are talking hot and talented, and especially if we're talking older men, there can be only one.....

MARK TODD IS GOD!!!

Nuff said.

Though he is a lovely guy can't see it myself??
 
Can't see the appeal of Mark Todd either, lovely fellow and brilliant rider that he is. And having seen him in his underwear a few years back, I doubt things have improved with the passage of time. ;)
 
TarrSteps, i can't believe you resurrected this thread... I wonder if I'll be the only one reading back with trepidation, thinking "oh god, what did i write?" ;) ;)
luckily, i controlled myself and didn't say anything i cringe about now!
as for Mr Todd, oh yes, I can absolutely see the appeal. I first saw him when I asked for his autograph at Castle Ashby Horse Trials (long gone now, was final trial for the Olympics back then iirc) when I was about 14, and I've been utterly smitten ever since! but very tall and skinny always does it for me... plus, he's a lovely person, and not too bad on a horse either, they tell me... ;) ;)
