Over 10 year-old article longtime troubled and with my searches finding nothing better at all than a few links at Books and Highbeam, there's also nothing at all for the applicable notability, there's no inherited notability from his "apparent minor celebrity" and "appearances" thus nothing convincing overall. Several of the listed news sources are now locked but the ones available such as the Independent only mention him once with the second Independent link only containing sentences about him instead. Basically there's still simply nothing actually suggesting this can be an acceptable article. I should also note this was actually PRODed in February 2010 by but removed because it was apparently "general notability". SwisterTwister  talk  23:18, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Clearly notable although since his fame was largely in the 1990s most coverage is likely not online. This from The Independent is obviously not a brief mention. His fame may have been some time ago, but there's no doubt he was famous/notable enough. Coverage that's online includes ("celebrity show-jumper"),  ("champion horseman"),, coverage of his role in a Bond film , he also did a lot of television, including appearing as a celebrity competitor on Gladiators, guested on celebrity panel shows such as They Think It's All Over, and various other appearances. He's a celebrity. He's notable. --Michig (talk) 05:51, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep This article needs work, obviously, but I think he meets GNG. White Arabian Filly  Neigh 21:50, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: 10 year old article, has sources, is delightfully quirky.  May not meet GNG solely on acting or equestrianism, but the combination of the two:  Priceless.  Adequate indicia of notability, if in the form of notoriety.   Montanabw (talk)  06:56, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
