For our Celebrity Agents Client Roster CLICK HERE Oliver Skeete TV/Radio Presenter Show Jumper Oliver is one of those special celebrities who everyone recognises immediately wherever he goes. He is one of the nicest people you could wish to meet, and he also does a mega amount for charity. For full details on Ollie, please read his biog.
Full Name: Oliver Skeete Date of Birth: 26th March 1956 Place of Birth: Speightstown, Barbados. One of a family of 10 (4 brothers and 5 sisters). Occupation: Show jumper committed to qualifying for the Sydney Olympics in the year 2000. A Brief History to Date Oliver travelled to England in September 1964 at the age of 8 to join his parents who had settled in Acton, West London, and attended local schools to the age of fifteen. Upon leaving school, Oliver decided to try his hand as a motor mechanic where he qualified 3 years later at the age of 18. His main sporting interest at this time was football and he played for a local youth team. Oliver was first introduced to the world of horses by a chance meeting with a Spanish Countess in a night-club, (now there’s a surprise), who invited him to ride with her. However, this was not a successful introduction as Oliver was left bruised and embarrassed after being thrown in Hyde Park. This was the last he saw of the Countess and horses did not feature in his life again until years later when Oliver was settled in Ealing with 2 young daughters to entertain. He enrolled them at a local riding school. He found that his enthusiasm grew with theirs and decided to chance his luck once more. This time, Oliver managed to stay on long enough for the riding bug to bite. He proceeded to purchase his first horse by selling the family car and borrowing money from his parents to raise the necessary funds. He started show jumping in 1992, aged 36, discovering a talent as a strong and ‘natural’ rider. He has competed at most levels except the very top. He is currently seeking a sponsor to help him purchase horses of sufficient quality to carry him forward to his goals. He intends to represent Barbados at the Olympics in Sydney in 2,000, show jumping under the Barbadian flag. This will be the first time a West Indian Island has sent a show jumper to the Olympics. Oliver has caught the public’s imagination and has become a media celebrity noted for his quick wit and versatile but determined personality. Oliver Skeete was the first black show jumper. One reporter claimed: ‘Oliver Skeete has made the biggest leap of all from the rapscallion life of city back streets to high society on horseback’. Oliver has won widespread support from leading show jumpers and has been warmly received by what has been quoted the blue rinse set. Many believe Oliver gives the show jumping sport the opportunity to reverse its decline in popularity and return to prime time TV. This year, Oliver will compete in the Fox Hunters and Grade C Class where he will need four double clear rounds to qualify for the Horse of the Year Show at Wembley. Most days, Oliver is to be found at stables in Berkshire being schooled by Barrie Fox, the former show jumping international. Nigel Goddard, another former international show jumper has been quoted as saying: ‘I saw him last year at a show and was gob smacked. I almost forgot to go into the ring myself. Everyone at the show was talking about him. He attitude is right and he has a feel for the sport. I believe he can fulfill his ambition. Oliver was born into a family of ten. He experienced a typically strict Barbadian upbringing that included regular beatings. He was brought up to believe ‘that dads were supposed to beat you and that small boys were supposed to hate them’. He is now the father of 5 children and he finds it very difficult to be strict with them. Count Phillip, Oliver’s Great Grandfather, guarded a plantation and ruled that women caught stealing mangoes either had to sleep with him or be sent to the police. Their husbands, therefore, sent out their wives who happily slept with him! A few weeks after his 8th birthday, Oliver was dispatched by his grandmother and two aunts to England to join his parents, who had emigrated earlier. As a child, he could not work out the attraction of England. It was cold and the people seemed miserable after the gayness and colour of Barbados. In his autobiography, Oliver paints a vivid and painful insight into his personal experiences as a 1960’s immigrant abandoning his native culture for the apparent opportunities available in Mother England. Like most who flocked from the Caribbean looking to improve their lives in the 1960’s, the Skeete’s suffered from near poverty, overcrowding and a misunderstood culture. As a child, Oliver had no ambitions and football remains his happiest memory of school. School failed to excite him and he left at the age of 14 with the mutual consent of the headmaster. Complete with dreadlocks, Oliver returned to Barbados for a short spell, planning to settle for good in the country in which he was born. He enjoyed a stint as a Barbados bus driver – there considered a fun occupation for extrovert people. He says: ‘There were none of those dreary, miserable faces you see on London buses. Everybody was singing, laughing and joking. Sometimes a big mama got up and did a little jig in the aisle. People got on with chickens in cages and baskets of fruit on their heads. The passengers all cheered, "Yeah, Rastaman, go fast, Rastaman". He then spent a period of time as a beach bum, picking up single foreign women as they sunbathed on the white sands, before returning to England. Frank Maloney, the famous boxing promoter responsible for, among others, Lennox Lewis, initially took on Oliver as a Client. He arranged a publicity stunt featuring Oliver riding a grey-white gelding through Brixton. This propelled Oliver into the media gaze. One week later, he was on the Michael Barrymore Show. However, no large sponsors came forward, although Oliver was amazed at the encouragement and generous offers of assistance made by many sympathetic horse owners. John and Michael Whittaker have taken an interest in Oliver’s progress and, while acknowledging his talent, like the idea of him introducing an element of fun into the sport. In September 1994, Oliver was introduced to Princess Michael of Kent, who also gave him her encouragement. Oliver has been quoted as saying: I dream of being in the Olympics or the National Cup – or just seeing my name in the world’s top twenty. Everybody says that horse riding is a snobby sport and for upper class people only, but it’s not really like that. (Why has Britain never had a black show jumper?) When we were taken slaves, the oversee'ers rode horses. When we escaped, we were chased by dogs. When we were taken from our lands, we were taken across waters. That’s why we don’t swim, hate dogs and don’t like horses. It’s also why we can run like hell. [laughter] …What I love most about the sport is putting a horse over a fence. When you get it wrong it’s a horrible feeling but when you get it right, well, some say it’s better than having sex – and I agree. Well alright, nearly as good. [laughter] I’m not attacking the middle classes, I’m attacking a middle class sport because I want to be a winner. The British Show Jumping Association do a great job but perhaps they should pay more attention to what the public think. I bet that the people who go to Hickstead this year will be exactly the same people who went last year and the year before. Since I have become well known, I’ve had girls throwing themselves at me. I know I’m taking a great risk but that’s what living is all about. My attitude hasn’t changed since my days of joy riding, although now I don't take risks with the law. Information on Show Jumping Show jumping is a sport that reaches millions of people through television and the media. It is a sport enjoyed by the horse enthusiast, the professional and those who have never been on or near a horse in their lives. The appeal is wide and far-reaching. Competitors of all ages and of varying abilities now complete in show jumping competitions across the country – competitions administered by the British Show jumping Association. In the 18th century, the enforcement of the Enclosure Act meant it was no longer possible to ride across country without jumping fences. The ability and agility of horses soon became clear, forming a new and exciting form of horsemanship – show jumping. Competitions were soon under way and a show jumping class was held in the first International horse show to be staged in England at Olympia in 1907. Today, this venue still hosts many of the finest show jumping competitions in the World. Following a meeting at Olympia in 1923, the British Show Jumping Association was formed. BSJA Classes started with the British Novice Championship. Junior heights beginning at 2’ 9" to the enormous fences jumped in International Puissance classes. There are over 2,000 shows a year, providing in excess of 3,000 days of show jumping for members of the Association. The BSJA have carefully designed and developed classes and courses. NOVICE CLASSES INCLUDE:- British Notice Championship 0.75m to 1.10m Discovery Competition 0.90m to 1.05m Newcomers 1.05m to 1.25m BSJA Members Cup 1.05m to 1.25m Foxhunter 1.10m to 1.35m Grade C Class Grade B Class (Oliver’s class 1996) Grade A Class (Professional level) (He’s nearly at the top!!)
