Drew and Jonathan Scott aka the Property Brothers both ride very well! Don't think they own any right now but saw an episode where Jonathan rode and he was pretty good...looked really good too

Oh! And Viggo Mortensen is also apparently a big horse-person. I believe he owns the horses he worked with in Hidalgo and Lord of the Rings. Also, one of the stunt riders in Lord of the Rings really bonded with the horse she used on set but she couldn't afford to buy him after shooting, so Mortensen straight up bought him for her.

Jay Silverheels aka Tonto of Lone Ranger fame .

From wikipidia "Personal life[edit]
Jay Silverheels raised, bred and raced Standardbred horses in his spare time. Once, when asked about possibly running Tonto's famous paint horse Scout in a race, Jay laughed off the idea: "Heck, I can outrun Scout!".............

Jay Silverheels suffered a stroke in 1976.[29] The following year, Clayton Moore (Lone Ranger) rode a paint horse in Silverheels' honor in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade.[30] Jay Silverheels died on March 5, 1980, from complications of a stroke, at age sixty-seven, in Calabasas, Los Angeles County, California."

Elvis Presley had a couple of TN Walkers that as far as I know he rode for fun. Never heard that he showed or competed anyway.

He did a lot of the riding stunts in Hidalgo too. He's an excellent rider from his childhood in Argentina. The horse he rode in LOTR was the warmblood stallion Uraeus.

In Spain, our Princess Elena, sister to the King and third in line to the Crown, is quite an accomplished show jumper. At the age of 54, she still competes on the national circuit. Here she is competing in the dreaded "concrete fishbowl", where I train.
