Chairman of Selectors, Di Latham, said on behalf of the selectors and management team, “We were delighted that the riders and their crews all set a high standard with their turnout and presentation; all combinations achieving their objectives for the day, whilst working towards the ultimate goal of the Championship. This is a strong Team, who have all worked extremely hard, and we are confident that they will produce their horses at peak fitness to be competitive against the best in the World”.
Chef d’Equipe, Helen Boston said, “The championship course at Tarbes, France, will provide a testing course for the 120km race, due to its location being in the foothills of the Pyrenees.

Team USA Young Riders to race in memory of deborah reich at 2013 World Championship
to the u.s. endurance community
from emmett ross, chef d' equipe:
It is with immense pleasure that I announce that the US team of young riders will ride in memory of Deborah Reich at the 2013 Junior/Young Rider World Endurance Championship in Tarbes, France. Deborah was an avid endurance rider, a member of the 2010 and 2011 US Equestrian Teams, and a committed mentor of young endurance riders. She passed away in February.
Deborah enthusiastically joined the sport of endurance riding in 2005 with the dream of one day representing the USA internationally. That goal presented a huge mountain to climb, but Deborah’s attitude and focus were undeterred. She dedicated her all to the effort, and her commitment paid off when she was chosen to represent the USA for the 2010 World Equestrian Games. At that ride, she was the only US rider to finish on her great horse Juniper and they finished in a time that still stands as the fourth fastest time of any American rider in any world championship to date.
Deborah had an uncanny knack of always finishing in a strong position. Her second most notable result was her gritty finish at the 2011 Pan American Games in Chile. The US team was in the lead but at risk of losing that position. At that point Deborah was our trailing team member, and in order to keep the team’s medal-contending position she was asked to speed up on the final loop. She asked her horse Pandor to give his all, and even after suffering some in-race setbacks, Pandor recorded an incredible last loop pace of 20 km/h. In the end, the US team won the silver medal, losing the gold by only one minute and 47 seconds.
Deborah was a terrific role model for other riders because of her commitment to racing as part of a team rather than simply riding for personal success. She was also a very generous sponsor of endurance riding, choosing to direct her philanthropic and mentoring support toward Young Riders and their international efforts. For these reasons, I am simply thrilled to have the opportunity to honor Deborah at the 2013 Junior/Young Rider World Endurance Championships. Her spirit will ride with the US team in France. God bless.
USEF Proposes Performance Horse Collapse Rule

By Alexandra Beckstett, The Horse Managing Editor
Jun 17, 2013
Over the past 18 months, the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) has seen a spike in the number of equine fatalities and collapses at its events. While federation rules require owners to report fatalities within 24 hours, there are currently no regulations regarding collapse—defined as "a fall for no apparent cause."
At a USEF Town Hall meeting about performance horse welfare, held June 3 in Lexington, Ky., a panel of federation officials and veterinarians discussed the need for a "collapse rule" and how to best define it.
"Over the last 12 months we started getting unofficial phone calls making inquiries about collapses witnessed at shows," said USEF senior vice president and general counsel Sonja Keating. "We realized we need to know what's going on in the field and at least have a system in place to look at these, see if there's any common thread, and try to reduce the number of collapses occurring at these competitions."
In response, the USEF veterinary committee proposed a rule to the executive committee in April requiring riders, trainers, or owners to report when a horse collapses...

Three Presidential Innovation Fellows Begin Work at NIST
Three of this year's Presidential Innovation Fellows (PIF) began work at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on June 18, 2013, helping the institute address issues relating to connecting networks of machines, facilities and people, and also to help energy consumers make better use of their energy usage data.
Presidential Innovation Fellows
NIST's Presidential Innovation Fellows are (L-R) Sokwoo Rhee and Geoff Mulligan, who will work on cyber physical systems, and John Teeter (far right), who will work on the Green Button Initiative. The three fellows, part of the second round of the PIF program, started their 12-month tours at NIST on June 18, 2013.

Two of NIST's fellows, Geoff Mulligan and Sokwoo Rhee, will work on cyber-physical systems (CPS). These new "smart systems" will combine networking, information and communication technologies to optimize system performance in real time. Accelerated development of CPS is expected to yield new manufactured products and services in a range of industry sectors essential to U.S. competitiveness, including manufacturing, transportation, energy, health care and defense. NIST's fellows will lead a multidisciplinary team of experts from the private and public sectors and work for consensus in developing a framework consisting of high-level reference architecture, standards and protocols for CPS.*
Mulligan has been instrumental in Internet development, recently having helped design IPv6, the latest version of the communications protocol that routes traffic across the Internet. He holds over 15 patents in computer security, networking and electronic mail, and was called to testify before Congress on electronic commerce and computer security.
Rhee is an entrepreneur who helped to initiate the cyber-physical systems and "internet of things" industry in the early 2000s. His work and achievements have been recognized by multiple awards including MIT Technology Review's Top Innovators under 35.
NIST's third fellow, John Teeter, will work on the Green Button Initiative,** which aims to enable energy customers to download their energy usage data securely in machine-readable format directly from utilities. He will be part of a "Green Button for America" team, the other member of which will work from the Department of Energy. A key goal will be to provide leadership to enhance Green Button data consistency through testing and certification, based on feedback from consumers, vendors and utilities.
Teeter has a 40-year history in the electrical and technology industries, including most recently as chief scientist for People Power, a software company enabling remote control and management of connected devices from mobile devices. Teeter was the founder and CEO of First Step Research, prior to which he was a founder and VP of Engineering at Gold Hill Computers.
The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) runs the PIF program, now in its second year, and asked agencies across the government to propose new research areas to expand the PIF program for this year. NIST's two proposals were among those selected, bringing the number of project areas up to nine from last year's five. Fellows are funded by the sponsoring agencies.
More information is available in the White House blog post, "New Round of Innovators Joins US Government to Tackle Big Challenges" at www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2013/06/24/new-round-innovators-joins-us-government-tackle-big-challenges.

Oman: Proud Achievement
Omantribune.com - Full Article
On the heels of a bit of a gloom in the country after the national football team’s debacle in the 2014 Brazil World Cup qualifying campaign, comes exhilarating news of the victory of Sultanate’s equestrian rider HH Sayyid Loay Bin Ghaleb Al Said at the Endurance Riding Championship in the Czech Republic. Oman’s experienced and well-known equestrian ace clinched the six-stage 160-km ride over some testing terrain for both the rider and his mount.
Loay’s winning performance adds to the numerous sporting glories of the Sultanate and reflects the rising standards of our sports-persons in recent years. Endurance riding is a complete test of the rider and the horse, and it requires exceptional skills, dedication, determination and, above all, lasting stamina to be able to complete the course. Loay deserves all the accolades for keeping the Sultanate’s flag flying at this international ride which was also a qualification for next year’s Endurance World Cup which will be held in Normandy, France. Laoy’s triumph has brought the smiles back on the faces of Omani sports fans – it was a proud moment for Oman’s endurance riding star to see the national flag fluttering at a major international sports event.
Ghaleb Al Said, who is credited with being the first Omani rider to take part in the Endurance World Cup in Dubai in 2005, has dedicated the victory to his Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, Sultanate’s visionary leader under whose guidance the nation has made remarkable progress in all fields of human endeavour. We recall the care and support which His Majesty the Sultan provides to the youth of the country so that they can excel in education, art, culture and sports. Through Royal orders and directives, Sultanate’s athletes have achieved good results in regional and international competitions. Even though Sultanate’s top football side could not qualify for the World Cup, they put up a competitive performance that underlined the rise in the standard of the game in the country...

Australia: Riders descend for prestigous Quilty
Tenterfieldstart.com.au - Full Article
June 26, 2013
THE weekend of June 7-10 saw the running of the 48th Tom Quilty Gold Cup.
This year’s event was held in Queensland (the event moves from state to state each year) in the small township of Kilkivan in the South Burnett district.
Kilkivan has been hit with three major floods in the last 18 months but despite this the small community managed to host an excellent event with help from sponsors and local government support to rebuild many of the buildings lost in those floods.
Five members of the Tenterfield endurance-riding club attended with their horses plus support crew to take up the national challenge.
They joined 245 other riders from across Australia and several international riders. Greg Lyons was riding Chingford Just Dreaming, Narelle Childs was riding Halo Kazaam, Damien Keys was riding Elfar Karnella, Michael Combe wasriding Nasr and Caroline Windle was riding Sarina Rosetta.
This year, the weather was unseasonably warm, but at midnight on Friday, June 7, riders headed out into the night on the first leg of the five-leg course.
The course without doubt was a true “Quilty” course. The conditions and terrain were challenging which led to a low successful completion rate of only 43 per cent...

Endurance doping: Time to draw a line in the desert sand?

People do not need to be rocket scientists to realise how easily a sport’s reputation can be damaged by drug scandals.
One only has to look at cycling to see how repeated and high-profile drug infractions can trash a reputation. Once lost, recovering that reputation can be a long and difficult process. The commercial damage can also be considerable, as sponsors tend to see little value in supporting a tarnished sport.
The sport of endurance is facing just such an uncomfortable truth: that if it does not start to make serious inroads into drug infractions in the Middle East, the sport’s reputation could well sustain lasting damage...
