Well, I suppose he has made a small amount of "talent" stretch a long way...I am sure there are plenty with just as much, if not more talent, who have not had the doors opened that he has.

As for the new girlfriend being the showjumping coach for the US team, and his involvment in that, its quite clearly a conflict of interest and improper.

He's a golddigger. Its no coincidence that all the women in his life have been wealthy, well connected and able to boost his profile in his chosen "career". It does seem to be the way in the equestrian world that nepotism is almost something to boast about, but please don't expect me to believe that the man got to where he is on sheer talent alone!

I can't say I find him a very impressive individual.

Unbelievable poppycock.Watch the US team win ..and eat your words.

Well the only thing I do agree is that their timing is off and they could have gone further to think about the impact this would have, at this time. As a matter of itnterest was there an obviously better qualified coach for the position of SJ trainer? otherwise, I still say live and let live but awful for his youngest.. At 14 we often struggle with our parents let alone hae this happen in the public view.

This gives me a laugh! Good god man, do you have no faith in your own team?

Do you really think the U.S. will win, over your cracking team? I must say , I am hoping for the U.S. and we have some great pairs, however if we don't win, I am hoping your team will win!

If the U.S. does win, the credit really won't be attributed to CMP, and it shouldn't be. In eventing, the riders and their horses speak for themselves.

Luci07, there are many qualified showjumpers who could have been coach to the Eventing team. L.H. is one of them. However, the choice of the S.J. coach is heavily influenced by the Eventing Chef and in this instance it stinks a bit..
