Andrew Nicholson is without a High Performance home after calling it splitsville with New Zealand following a public falling out with Nereo’s vet at the World Equestrian Games.
Look, Andrew, we know you have a lot of options in picking your next High Performance program. The Germans are the reigning World, European and Olympic champions. The Irish know how to party. And the Dutch get to rock a lot of orange.
But we’d like you to strongly consider riding for the good ol’ U S of A for these 10 compelling reasons:
1. We have an excellent sense of humor.
