Today Show



 As I watched NBC's Today Show I could hardly believe my eyes and ears.
What a disappointment!  And what a waste of an opportunity to give the world
a glimpse of our sport.  I can only imagine Valerie's disappointment after
her efforts, time and dollars to bring 2 horses to the center of NYC.

Valerie Kanavy should have had a proper interview in the studio as did
Serena Williams, both world champions in their sports.   She should have had
opportunity to talk about endurance riding and what it means to her and so
many of us.  Film clips of her winning with Jedi or Cash could have been
aired. Then if NBC wanted to clown around with Barry Matson and Katie Couric
for a couple of minutes, OK.  Instead, we get inane jokes about horse manure
and wasted minutes of Matson showing off his stupidity.   Valerie had only
the briefest of coverage.

So, let's all tell NBC how we feel about this--OK?
