First, let me start by saying I’m really impressed with the number of profiles we have gotten since we announced the series last week, we have gotten a bunch! In case you were stranded in Siberia without Internet access last week and didn’t submit your profile, here’s how you can:
We now invite anyone related in anyway to Eventing (Could be rider, coach, event organizer, parent, owner etc.) to submit a profile. All you have to do is copy/paste the questions below into an email, fill it out, and send it to [email protected] I think the broader specification will certainly make for some variety in the profiles, as well as acknowledging all of the many important people within our sport.
