Re: [RC] re: PC - D'Arcy Demianoff-ThompsonAnd here in lays the heart of the matter. Looking at the entries and how many riders/horses were represented from the US tells a large part of the story. Now, whether or not, riders 'elected' or 'opted' out of an invitation, based on their horse care principles, or whether they were not able to get a horse ready for that gruelling of a competition, would be an interesting study. When John and Steph have the time, information, and/or statistics, I'd like to know the following: 1. Who was invited? 2. What country they represented? (Riders did not necessarily ride a horse represented from their own country) 3. What place they finished? 4. The amount of training and/or previous competitions completed by the horse and it's times. 5. Age of horse. 6. Age of rider. 7. Number of years rider has competed. 8. What organization the rider primarily rides under. Sorry if this is boring folks but it is how my brain ticks. D'Arcy I'm not sure that model belongs in the AERC nor am I sure a US rider under the current organization can compete with that model.
