I’m going to be honest, when I first saw this news my first reaction was to wonder is ‘Rottinghuis’ a verb or a noun. But then suddenly I remembered several articles I had read on The Carrot supporting a distinguished Mr. Rottinghuis in the FEI presidential election, to be held later this year. Looking back through The Carrot’s archives, I found this post about Rottinghuis’ platform, and another article about Rottinghuis being awesome.
So, I guess it would only make sense that US gold medalist, Canadian silver medal coach, USEF President, and, most importantly, good friend to Eventing Nation, David O’Connor has endorsed Henk Rottinghuis in his challenge to HRH Princess Haya for the FEI Presidency. David has agreed to serve as Rottinghuis’ first vice president if Rottinghuis wins. Check out Rottinghuis’ website for more information on the candidate and his platform. Sven Holmberg of Sweden is also in the running for the presidency.
Thanks to our very own Katie Lindsay for the heads up on this story. Go eventing.
