Christopher Bartle, FBHS (born 19 February 1952 in Harrogate, West Riding of Yorkshire) is a British equestrian who has enjoyed success in both Dressage and Eventing.

Chris Bartle was educated at Ampleforth College and at the University of Bristol where he obtained a BSc (Econ) with honours in Economics.

He was initially trained by his mother, Mrs Nicole Bartle and then later by Hans von Blixen-Finecke, Jr., who was double gold medalist at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics in Three Day Eventing.

The team came 8th, but Chris Bartle tied for 6th in the individual event to make history by becoming the highest placed British rider, a record he still held as of January 2011.

After his successful dressage period, Bartle was invited to train the British Eventing Team, with whom he went to the 1996 Atlanta[3] and 2000 Sydney[4] Olympic games.

Bartle has been the Managing Director and resident instructor at the Yorkshire Riding Centre in Markington near Harrogate for many years, sharing his wealth of knowledge.
