 * Symbol question.svg Article meets the DYK criteria, suggest credit for User:Kiwipat as creator, but I'm unsure if the hook should suggest as it does that the horse won the gold medals when it's the rider that wins the medals. Perhaps

 * Horse and rider work together to win the medals (unless the rider is out there jumping the jumps on foot!) - but the rider's the one that gets to actually wear them. I prefer the original (it's more succinct, less beat-around-the-bush), but they're both technically correct. I've never seen a creator credited before when they had nothing to do with the DYK (I completely rewrote the article from the 3-line stub they created), but I'm not fussed either way. Thanks for the review. Dana boomer (talk) 18:45, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The issue of whether we should refer to horse winning medals has been raised before in relation to the Olympics, but I think it's probably fine either way. Creator mainly gets credit as the fact being used as the hook was already present in the stub they created.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go with either the original or the alt I'll let whoever comes along to promote it choose - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 21:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
