OK Eventers, If you could give Mark Phillips a grade on his job with the US Eventing Team, what would it be and why?

If you feel he needs to go, who would you replace him with?

Well obviously mediocrity is fine with you. But it's not with me. I want to see my country do well and win medals in every sport. Finishing out of the top 3 consistently now is just ridiculous. Even...

I am so disappointed in the US Eventing program it is not funny.

We have terrible leadership, a joke of a coach and probably the worse part -- the riders on the team are making excuse after excuse...

So happy to see Stephen and Joshua on the list! :)

Fingers crossed they stay sound this year and make the team.

In that area I highly recommend Beth Perkins. I have been riding with her since March and she is hands down one of the best instructors I have ever had. Here's her website:...

Thanks for the update. I was worried something bad might have happened. Happy to hear it was a technical error.

Your 2 options (that I recommend)...

1. Move to Lexington Kentucky and ride with Cathy Wieschhoff. She is just awesome.

2. Move to Nashville TN and ride with Bill and Lori Hoos.

If you get...

Anyone know? I saw on the results page where they got eliminated on cross country.

Ahh that stinks!! :( I'm sorry that happened. Been there --

One time I was at a Pony Club Eventing rally and was in the lead after dressage. We had to show jump before XC. So I go into the arena,...

What an awesome weekend!! :D

We went Training and had a personal best in dressage - a 31.8! Pulled 1 silly rail in SJ and were clean XC with 2 time faults. We ended up finishing in 4th! Not to...

Not true! Rolex had a very average amount of entries this year. No way it was the "largest field in it's history". No way. Go back to 2004 and 2006 even and count the entries then. Those were big...

The entries looked way low to me as well. This is not good. Not good at all.

Has anyone else noticed that the "hype" for some of these events has dropped pretty significantly compared to years...

Hey RiverbendPol and CANTEREOIN,

Get over it. It was a joke and I thought it was rather funny! :lol:

Geez.....

That wasn't just a rumor. He did colick. That was about the time I lost all respect for Laine Ashker.

This!

Me too! ;)

Laine Ashker as a clinician..... :lol: :lol:

I needed a good laugh today.

I totally agree.

And unfortunatly, it's really been showing the past several years at the Olympics and WEG. We haven't won a major team medal since 2004, and that was only by sheer luck. If...

I am so lost. I have no idea what to click on once I get to the Universal Sports website. I am kind of frustrated with the Rolex website. Why isn't there a link on the main page to make this...

Europa, This is the second thread you have claimed to be asking advice for "your friend". We all know it's really your "Hidalgo looking tobiano mare" and of course we all know about your big Friesian...

Come on europa, we all know that the Friesian is yours. You're not fooling anyone. :lol:

Thoughts??

I was a working student for a really big name rider up in northern virginia in the summer of 2007. Best experience of my life.

My advice would be:

1. Ask questions. The people you work for...

From www.eventingnation.com:

After 6 straight years of going to Rolex and volunteering I will be missing this year due to college exams.

Anyone else missing out on Rolex this year?

No offense but Jimmy Wofford would be one of my last choices. I love the guy, don't get me wrong, but his work with the Canadians was not good at all. The Canadians have progressed much better under...
