Which well known rider would you most like to meet?

[Luci07]

As my friends got me completely wrong?

So 1. Mary King - for her complete and utter professionialism and sheer graft. Not a lady who has been given anything on a plate (and thats not pointed at anyone) and what a fantastic role model with her smile and manners.
2. Lee Pearson. Ultimate cheeky chappy, makes me very ashamed when I whinge sometimes as he really has had a lot of obstacle to overcome. And made me cry at the olympics when he went to give his flowers to the french rider whose horse had tragically died.

Both of these riders take the concept of complete dedication to new levels...

Thoughts?!

Ginny Leng
John Whitaker
Ian Stark

I went to the Stallion PArade at Keysoe last year to see my horses sire. John Whitaker was there with Peppermill and I am sure he breathed on me in the cafe! It was an amazing encounter lo

I nearly started Hyperventilating!

[Bettyboo222]

Mary King or Pippa Funnel. I would be over the moon if I met any of them

 

[JenTaz]

Mary King and Pippa Funnel, after reading both of their books, and having watched them compete over the years, and reading about them in H&H they, to me seem the ultimate female top riders, due to working so hard, having lovely horses and getting the best out of them

Tim Stockdale and Geoff Billington

 

[Kokopelli]

Geoff Billington! He looks like a right laugh, I've met Tim Stockdale and he was definatly on the list, also Ben Maher and William Whitaker as they both are just amazing riders!

He stayed with us a few years ago with three horses and he was a complete gent. He also had his father in tow who was hilarious!
