c. Lessons, lessons and more lessons! You’d sleep in the school if the ‘rents would let you.
d. Going for a wild hack, finding as many logs to tackle as you can!

Now check out the results below to find out which horsey celeb you're most like!
Mostly As
You’re the next Ellen Whitaker! You’ve got a passion for showjumping and rank pretty high in the style stakes, too. Six-foot oxers, riding at Olympia, modeling horsey gear, signing autographs… You could manage that! Just make sure you concentrate on your riding basics too – being a successful showjumper isn’t just about finding the biggest fences.
Mostly Bs
Kelly Marks eat your heart out! You do enjoy riding, but making sure your pony is happy is the most important thing to you. You can bond with any pony and love a good challenge. Best of all, ponies are as mad about you as you are about them!

Mostly Cs
Step aside Laura Bechtolsheimer! If anyone’s got the drive and passion for dressage, it’s you, and luckily, you’ve got the talent to match. Your keenness to learn will only see you improve and if you play your cards right, you might bag yourself your very own Totilas one day! Just remember that riding should be fun, so treat yourself to the odd hack to keep you and your pony happy.

Mostly Ds
Just call yourself Mary King! You’ve certainly got the right attitude for eventing – dressage might not be hot on your list of priorities, but you put the work in because you know it’ll improve your cross-country. Just try not to go too wild – your pony might not be quite as enthusiastic about ditches as you are!

Mostly Es
Lynn Russell’s got competition! Anyone who loves cleaning tack as much as you will make it in the showing world. You know exactly how to make both you and your pony look your best, and your flair for turnout will win you rosettes by the bucket load! Just remember not to neglect your riding, as that’s just as important as looking good in this discipline.
