Wow! 40 years since Canada has a won a team medal in jumping and...WE WON THE SILVER!!!!!! Congrats to the U.S. winning gold! WOOHOOO!!!!!!
Oops, just saw that this topic was already started and I missed it.
I was so happy that they won this, expecially for Ian but also for Jill as she lives in Oxford Mills where we live. I remember as a kid meeting Ian for the first time when back then he was just starting out and he was in Ottawa at the Ottawa Ex when horses and riders were housed in the buidling opposite the Grandstand at Landsdowne... My sister's friend, Marlene, was his groom back then... lord, that was about 44 years ago... now I feel OLD!!! and that is where I met him for the first time. We were horse struck girls back then and the passion never left us... little did we know that this tall and gangly young man would achieve what he has.
I am glad that CBC showed the equestrian as it never gets enough press. I am anxious for the "individual" event to happen. I know Eric will do well but I am so rooting for Ian.
Really?? You were friends with Eric??Cool. I was coached for years by Lisa Carlsen, who was a member of the '88 Seoul Olympics team. It was so cool to see her ride there (I think she did the best out of the whole team that year). I used to be friends with Eric back in the day (when he was riding Cagney etc.).
