I'm not really one for Show jumping, Dressage is my thing, but I do watch the TV coverage of HOYS each years. I have been critisizing Robert Whitaker when I have watched him the last two years. I hated watching him ride. Aside from the fact that the guy appears to have had a charisma bypass (sorry if that sounds rude, but he must know it himself), his hands were truly awful. I winced constantly for the poor horse's mouth whenever I watched him.
Watching him this year though, he has obviously worked very hard on his position and his hands. He has been riding sympathetically and I really have to hand it to him. Also he managed a very small smile at the end of an interview - of course it could have been wind
