First of all Ginger, shame on you for posting a private post to
Ridecamp.
Second of all, all of the US WEC riders and horses have excellent
records. They are at the top of the game in the US. That's how they were CHOSEN
for the team. So, that being said, how will we know how the best in the
US measure up in international competition unless we continue to compete?
The
preparations for this event were significantly different than past international
events, and I believe this competition will provide learning that will be used
to better perform in the future.
To assume that "getting out of the
competition" until we "get it together" will somehow enable us to prepare more
effectively is absolutely ludicrous.
And when you speak about having no
pride in our team - you speak only for yourself.
By the way, what's your stake in
this?

showing at WEC
I am well aware of what our people are up against and evidentally
it's out of our league or at least out of the leage of the representatives
that have been sent. Now it is what it is. If we can't compete to the best of
our ability(maybe we have) then it's time to re-evalute or get out of the
compeition. I don't have to be a 100 mile rider to know this lesson. My
opinion is the same as always, get it together or get out of the competition.
YES, TO FINISH IS TO WIN, but we couldn't even finish respectfully. I
knew when I sent the post there would be some upset people and this not a new
subject as we go through it every year. Let's have some real pride and get
this job done right. Ginger
