1. William Funnell b.1966

   Pippa Funnell is a three day event rider. She was a member of the medal-winning GB Olympic Eventing team in 2000 and 2004, when she also won an individual medal.

   Three-time Badminton winner Funnell is the only rider ever to win the Rolex Grand Slam. She was selected for the GB team again in 2010 with her horse, Redesigned. This talented gelding was brought on by Funnell and her husband, international show jumper William. Together with Donal Barnwell they set up the Billy Stud now the largest producer of British-bred competition horses in the UK.

   ‘We are both heavily involved in helping each other. Even though we are in different sports they run parallel with each other. Our dream is to bring horses on for the future, not just 2012.' Pippa Funnell
