Following on from the Totilas/Valegro thread, lots of people were suggesting that it would be fun to see Edward Gal on Valegro. That got me thinking who I'd like to see on my girl - when my instructor rode her, she went so beautifully that I had to raise my expectations!

You can pick anyone, jump, dressage, jockey. Ideally reasonably well known! Just for fun, appreciate a lot of people wouldn't like anyone to ride their horse other than themselves!

I would choose Marcus Ehning as my girl loathes flatwork and loves to jump. I think he rides quietly!
 
Carl Hester, or any of the forgiving dressage stars really as like you SadKen my horse HATES flatwork of any kind with a passion but lives to jump which is such a shame as he could be so talented if he set his mind to it!
 
I would like to see either Monty Roberts or Kelly Marks ride my horse just to see how they would deal with his fear of large vehicles and probably make me feel totally inadequate! However it would be wonderful for me to see and wonderful for his confidence too!
 
Well my pony is so small that rules out most people!

I will choose Sam Roberts or Gemma Pallett two show riders I very much respect and who are both small enough!
 
I'd like to see Carl Hester ride him on the flat and WFP jump/XC him . . . but, like Daffodil, I would hate to hear the verdict ;).

P
 
Charlotte D to ride him on the flat as he is so talented and def wasted with me so to see him with a pro on him would be awesome, and William Fox pit to take him for a spin cross country then maybe John Whitakar to do some show jumping!!

:-)
 
Not 'famous' per se, but certainly well known on HHO - I would love to see PrincessSparkle ride my bf's hot headed little mare. She seems to have done a fab job with her lot!
Would love to see Carl or Charlotte on my boy too - he is a quiet little soul so it would be amazing to see what he would be like with a 'proper' rider!
 
Can I join the queue for Carl please. My chunky 14.2hh highland would be a bit of a change for him, I'm sure and he's capable of some real movement for a chunky boy .... If you can wake him up! (The pony I mean, not Carl!)
 
I would like to see Edward Gal on Tatts my quirky extremely forward nutty American saddlebred .
J I would like I think to see WFP on J that might wake his his ideas up.
Fatty mmmmmm Fatty I think off thread but I would like to see someone who really lost there nerve hunt Fatty that would be nice .
The new horse mmmm hard Andrew Nicholson I think.
Good game !
 
Any (nice) dressage star. I want to see if it is possible to get Ned to work nicely!

Or someone brave to take him XC. He's a good jumper, but I'm not brave enough to go over 2ft3-ish.
 
If Carl asked me nicely I might let him have a go on mine.

To be honest I quite like to see other people ride her so will let anyone who can ride well have a go. Agree with the person who said they would like to see Princess Sparkle on their horse.
 
Andrew Nicholson. Nothing to do with the pony, I'd just like to see his lovely thighs up close.

Other than that, he's an open house for anyone - I can't ride the ****** so it would be great if someone would!
 
My horse came from a very well known dressage rider based in Surrey. Sold as he had reached his limit. Totally sour and never turned out. That was 10 years ago and we took him further and had loads of fun with him.

If I put anyone on him today it would be Charlotte.
 
Carl, 100% :D Also there's a few riders on here that I would love to have a go, I know they'd get him going beautifully.
 
Harry Meade for me too, love watching him ride cross country. Although my girl can get pretty keen so maybe would be a bit unkind until his arms are all better!
