Who was in the US Squad



 
 
Joe:
 
It is a sad reflection of the sport and the  current state of competition
if the way to win is to play conservatively, not take risks, and aim for a less
than optimum performance. In my book, this is not competition.
 
WHERE THERE IS NOTHING VENTURED THERE IS NOTHING GAIN.
 
Great horses and Great Competitor do amazing, unpredictable feats in the face of adversity.
Underestimating these horses and riders is a big mistake.
 
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TEAM, BUT MUST OF ALL TO VALERIE AND JEDI FOR A
GREAT PERFORMANCE AND FROM WHOM WE NEVER EXPECT ANYTHING SHORT OF
OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.
 
Regards,

Joe Long States:
<<Absolutely.  The results demonstrates clearly what some of us were saying about
the importance of choosing your most consistent and reliable finishers for the
team, including *not* choosing a great horse who is showing possible problems.
It is common for the winners of the individual medals to not be team riders,
because going after an individual medal requires a higher-risk strategy.>>
