The dream team is finished
Get your resumes ready Eventing Nation. Equine Canada has issued a press release today explaining that they are now accepting applications for Canada’s next eventing coach as David O’Connor takes over the reins of Team USA. My understanding is that Equine Canada’s focus over the past few weeks has been to debrief on the Olympic experience, and that they are now moving on to the search for their next coach. I’ll publish the full release in full, but a few key notes are that applications are due by September 20th, the position will start January 1st, 2013, and that residency in North America is preferred.
