Don't Know Much About?
Your favorite top riders? Click here to see bios of our sport's top eventers and their horses. The site includes such juicy tidbits as favorite non-equestrian activities (who knew Karen O'Connor enjoys golf, game shows, and koi ponds? and I myself certainly didn't know that Will Faudree likes knitting in his spare time!), reasons for starting riding (Kim Severson's mother was a dressage teacher - perhaps that explains why she and Winsome Adante have done so well in that phase!), horse's quirks (Jan Byyny's Task Force apparently "hears voices in his head... but is very lovable."), most influential people (Phillip Dutton considers Mick Jagger to be his idol), and so on. We try and update their competition records as frequently as possible, and add new pictures or links, so be sure to check back in the future! Have a favorite rider that we don't have listed? Tell us and we'll be sure to add them to this prestigious list. Which is your favorite and why? Have any interesting (yet tasteful and polite - let's be nice here, folks!) stories about your most-admired eventing heroes? Share them with the rest of us! ~Emily Daily
