USET is sending Art Priesz as Team Leader, Ann Stuart as Chef d'Equipe, Jeannie Waldron as Team Vet and Julie Bullock as all purpose helper. We don't know the exact date of their return to the states, typically, the horses leave within 2 or 3 days. Riders and support staff around the same time. The USET staff returns on March 28. While it is understandable that people may be nervous, Mary Lutz/USET will not force any of the staff to go if they are nervous, Mary has been in touch with Grace who is over there. Grace says there are no tensions whatsoever. Even the US Ambassador stated that they have complete confidence in their safety there and no one from the Embassy has left.
