Training As a Team

["Hickory Ridge Arabians" <hikryrdg@evansville.net>]

Maureen:
  Your comments are well taken.  I would submit that for us to send
a team, that stands an excellent chance of winning.The team will have 
to be made up of riders that can commit to at least 90 days, of 
living and training with each other before shipping overseas. Or,
we can select a team from just one region.  Have a regional team 
selection process take place.  A run off so to speak.  In any event, 
it is going to take a much larger commitment on the riders part than 
we have seen in the past.  It is also more of a management issue for 
those in charge.  I would like to see the US make a commitment
to do it right, train hard, and bring home the Gold.  Jerry Fruth
