[fallenangel123]

Mark Todd and Andrew Nicholson, wish I had his stickability!

 

[DreamingIsBelieving]

Nick Skelton and Piggy French. They just seem more 'in tune' with their horses than other riders.

Seems like a lot of you like Mary King, I'm not keen myself. Whenever I've watched her she's seemed a bit heavy-handed and not very well balanced. But she must be doing something right as she's so successful!

But what do I know? I'm primarily a happy hacker.

 

[Dizzy socks]

William Fox-Pitt, Carl Hester, Sylvia Loch, Laura Renwick, Abel Said.
Plus Mary King as a person, but not so much a rider, not a huge fan of her style.

The only really famous riders that really make me go wow are carl hester and ben mayer, both look truly natural on a horse like they are totally at one, really impressive most others look good but not totally at one to me.
