I have just confirmed that Leslie Law has sent in an application for the USEF Eventing Technical Advisor and the Chef d’Equipe position. Leslie joins a growing list of now 5 confirmed applications:
Bettina and Andrew Hoy
David O’Connor
Jimmy Wofford
Leslie Law
Phillip Dutton and Bobby Costello
I expect that there will be one or two more applicants for the position. The deadline for candidates to come forward with their applications and proposals for guiding the US Eventing Team is Monday. We will have much more on Monday, including hopefully a quick interview with Leslie.
Leslie has a long history of international success competing for Great Britain. He was second at Badminton in 2000 and third in 2002, he won team silver at 2000 Olympics, and he took home team bronze in 2002 at the World Equestrian Games. At the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Leslie won team silver and the individual Olympic gold medal after fellow applicant Bettina Hoy’s show jumping controversy removed her from the lead. Leslie’s wife, Lesley Grant Law, has competed up to the 4* level for Canada. In 2006, the Laws moved from England to the US, where they operate a well respected competition and training program out of Virginia and Ocala. Go eventing.
