I said previously that I don't care very much about this, but I just realised she is on on Wednesday, the day I have tickets for!!! This had better be good, I've already paid for it!!!! [ QUOTE ]

LOL You and me both, maybe thats why we have more of a vested interest in this being good than others who aren't going

If this is the case, she should not do this demo or whatever, and wait until she has properly qualified to ride at Olympia, like everyone else.

[/ QUOTE ]
I totally agree. Best of luck to her, for all her advantages I wish her every success. I can't see what qualifies her as demo material at this stage though.
 
[ QUOTE ]
i can't actually understand why there is such a personal attack?!!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think there has been any personal attacks. Some of the folks who have commented don't know who John Terry is, let alone his wife!

Why does she need to 'qualify' for a demo? She is merely one of VT pupils. I am sure there wouldn't be as much fuss it is was a member of the general public who was chosen.
 
Yes, why not have an X-Factor type comp to find a 'noboby' to do a demo, rather giving someone this oppotunity simply because of who her husband is.
Personally, I don't think equestrianism needs WAGs.
 
if im not much mistaken john terry is the england captain as there was some uproar about it as he was caught at some point having sex with a 17 year old in a car, so im sure he is lovely , maybe be good for his wife to have some time away

So is it really VT giving the demo and TT is just a random rider under instruction? Someone has to have some credibility to get to give a public demonstration to paying public. If the teacher is the point of the demo, then fair play, but demand should be what qualifies people to give demos.

Exactly, and what would qualify a member of the public? What makes them special enough? Just because they don't have her money nor her husband's status, doesn't make them any more hardworking than she is. If anything, she has to work harder to gain the public's approval and to (as she said) "make it on her own merit".
 
QR- Hmm maybe I will go back and read the article as I read it as would be a VT demo with a pupil, maybe I am wrong. Either way, I still don't care.

yes i think you could be correct!!!! they could make somemore money with a jeremy kyle appearance !!!

(think it was tesco wasnt she with some other footballers mother ????!!!)

Toni Terry, wife of Chelsea Football Club and England Captain John Terry, will be fulfilling her dream to ride at Olympia, The London International Horse Show (15-21 December) when she takes part in a specially choreographed pas de deux with trainer Vicki Thompson-Winfield, Olympic rider, 16 times National Champion, at this year’s show.

P.S. Does it matter what her husband did or what his mother did? Nobody's perfect, everyone has skeletons in their closets! *Sighs*
 
Ah I remember that story, nice family

Well if she has to put up with a husband who likes young girls and a mother in law who likes other people's sweeties the poor woman deserves a night out
grin.gif
I take it all back.

And as for her husbands ' status' lets get real - he kicks a football.... he doesn't save lives or win nobel peace prizes.

I just think it's unfair she's getting a harsh reception when the majority of people would do exactly the same thing in her shoes. Besides, if you picked a general member of the public, they'd be scrutinised for being " a nobody" too!! GAH!
 
I don't care about her personally but will be avoiding Wed night now as I don't want to pay to see someone who is unknown.

I find it odd that she says she wants to be more than Johns Wife but if she wasn't his wife we wouldn't be talking about.

Agree with the person who said if she wants to make it on merit like "ordinary" people she should not do this.
 
I don't know what the problem is, if you lot had the money and contacts I'm sure you'd all do the same
smirk.gif


I for one have heard a lot about her and especially her young horse Beltoni, who looks like will be a star in the future. She and her husband are fab for the UKs dressage riders, buying and owning world class horses that might make 2012. And we're always moaning that there aren't enough owners!!!!

Love her or hate her KP filled HOYS (on a friday when I was there) when normally it is half empty. And I will def look forward to seeing Toni at Olympia.

I assume that the idea is that it is some kind of Masterclass with Vicki Thompson? Therefore she takes a pupil along with her - it just so happens that this one is 'high profile'.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but then why the interview about her 'new-found passion'?
confused.gif
From the way the article is written this demo is only about her - definitely not a Masterclass with a top trainer and an average pupil.

Nobody is complaining about the fact that she can buy fabulous horses (or have fabulous horses bought for her
grin.gif
) and train with a good trainer; I think what irritates most is purely the fact that tickets cost a lot of money and if you go to Olympia (i.e. a HORSE show) you'd expect to see top-class sport and relevant demos, not a non-horsey 'celebrity'.

Just trying to imagine the reaction if, say, Michael Ballack's wife performed at, say, Aachen in front of the very knowledgeable German crowds. Hilarity springs to mind.

Yep and we should all believe everything that is printed in the press

Oh no! Someone save us from these women please! If they really want to do something for dressage, why don't they put some money into buying some really great horses for our Team GB and para GB teams?

I am going to both dressage nights at Olympia but I have zero interest in watching the z list wife of some guy who is vastly overpaid for following a ball round. I agree with the comment about it being a good time to go to the loo ... although everyone else will probably have the same idea so there will still be a queue!
 
I assume you mean Toni Terry, not Katie Price? That is really good news for the sport and shows at least she is putting something in rather than just trying to make money out of it with clothing ranges etc. I still don't think it means she should be doing a demo at Olympia though. Will be interesting to see how they introduce her on the night seeing as most of the people on this forum don't know who she is. What would really give her people's respect, I think anyway, is if they didn't mention her husband or anything and just said she was a pupil. And if she didn't come out looking like a circus ringmaster! We can but hope ...
