[RC] The President's Cup Results - John & Sue GreenallThe USA ride results 69 started - 23 finished Win time 7:24:55 (13.4 mph ave) Jan Worthington (on a UAE horse) 13th in 8:25.49 Cia Reis (Catch a Wave) 18th in 8:49:26 Steve Rojek (Finally) 19th in 8:49:32 Lynn Gilbert (Chagall) 20th in 9:03:01 Potato Richardson and Joyce Sousa pulled at hold 5 Bev Grey was pulled at the finish. John and I had the best time crewing for this ride. What a great group of riders and crews. Great thanks to Mary Lutz, Dr. Bob Beecher, Dr. Jeannie Waldron and Tom Johnson for being support. It is a great effort to transport horses, people and equipment, not to mention keeping things organized and running smoothly. We never wanted for anything thanks to these people who volunteered their time. Although this was not an "official" USET event, we did represent the USA and were proud to be competing there. I can understand how some people might view this type of event, but I must say that it was very well run, the vetting was fair and consistent (hey, they were not afraid to pull horses at the finish) and the winning UAE horses looked great at the finish. The completion rate is still too low (33%) in my opinion, but that is what I have seen in both UAE and European rides of late. Three of the riders, Steve, Cia and Bev, will be competing the same horses in Dubai in March. Best of luck to them!
