Both of them come from advantaged backgrounds. Zara, with her being a royal, perpetuates the image that equestrianism is only for snobs (which we do not want or I hope we don't) and Ellen had the entire Whitaker dynasty to assist her. Whilst they are both pretty, though I think there are much more attractive riders out there, I wouldn't really want them to be who we were promoting as the face of equestrianism in my own opinion. Many differenting opinions, many different reasons.
I personally always liked the look of Andrew Nicholson but, alas, I know I am in the minority and that he is not everyones cup of tea and thought of as too old for some.But he is a fantastic rider and not completely horrid on the eyes. We all have our own tastes.
Tell me what yours are?
Can i just say that Ellen Whittaker did not come from an advantaged background they have had to work really hard to get where she is and didnt have a load of help!
