Luhmuhlen

Since I last checked in after Virginia I’ve done a lot. The first thing I did was go to Luhmuhlen in Germany as a USEF Selector—I was so proud to be an American and all our riders were really great! Luhmuhlen is a beautiful event to visit and I would say was inspiring to watch and certainly made me hungry for competition and look forward to competing abroad again at that level.

I was the only U.S. selector there because we have to keep costs down and with six horses and five riders going, it was pretty easy for one person to cover. These days you can see so much online, the other selectors could watch that way, but it’s nice to have at least one person there, to get a good feel of the vibe of the event. I’m pretty new to the job, but when it comes right down to it I think every one of us wants to be competitive and wants the U.S. to win. The bottom line is, if you’re winning you’re going to be picked and if you’re not, you’re not picked. If you have the drive to go and put yourself on the line and end up in the top ten, you’re more likely to be picked. Riders and horses have to be competitive week in and week out. Getting the job done is really, really important. It’s really very simple. As a selector, I want all the riders to do great, I don’t want to not pick someone. I wish we had 20 people who could win every weekend!
