No opinion here on Tevis, but I don't think you can judge International
events like a backyard ride.  If you've got a ride like the one I manage,
you have 60 riders with 60 different goals.  If you go to an FEI event
you have 100 riders with one of two goals...an individual medal or a team
medal.  They're going for placement and the level of competition is not
comparable. Angie
