You have to understand the level of competition here.
There is so much to do, nothing can be left on the side.
It is so very important to have a TEAM because this ride is so very different than what we are used to.
I know or have seen a couple of the US riders at rides that are in Malaysia now.
They do feed, groom, train their own horses, some of them are competing on their home-bred horses!
Breaking them, training them and bringing them at the highest level of competition (an for a durable career, for the horse that is).
I'm a french girl living in the US and I am supporting both the US team and the french team but my heart goes more towards the US team as I know or have seen some of the riders/horses.
I know they have worked really hard to be in Malaysia and that the US team have a really good shot at a gold team medal!!!
So let's be more supportive!
Go Meg & Syrocco Reveille, Valery & Flash Flame, Kathy & Theatric, Cheryl & Reason To Believe, Jan & Golden Lightning and John & Hh Saba Shams!
