Hmmm....yeeeessss. I can see your point. How do 
the selectors for the eventers/dressage/SJ get on 
in the US then? Presumably these competitors do 
'earmarked' selection competitions? Or?

I appreciate that it is tricky, but the 
impression I got was that the selection process 
was a closed book for most 'mere mortals'. Is 
this true? What action plan would a rider take in 
the US to ensure consideration for the US team?

Cheers!

Liz and Basil The Nag
