USEF Adds Titanium and Kheops to the Short List

Is Good Witch not in consideration because of the bad luck at Rolex the last two years? It is a shame since she jumped around Luhmuhlen well.

I'm so disappointed. Jen Wooten and The Good Witch deserve to be on that list. This has turned into a Buck and Phil show.

Looks like we should bubble wrap Phillip and Buck until WEG.

I love Rock On Rose...a lot...but I'm not surprised at all that she isn't on the list. She did fantastic at Rolex...but she has been a bit inconsistent in the past. Such as standing up during dressage...or at the start box...she is a red-headed girl! I think she and Boyd need a few more big time outings to show that she is through that phase (or really that Boyd can manage her and get her cooperation on a consistent basis--which seems to be there but just needs more of a track record). Good honest jumping horse though...they may be a pair for 2012.

The ridiculousness of adding a FIFTH horse for Phillip cannot be overstated. Really? He needs FIVE horses on the list, including one who has not run a 4*?

Buck and PD should be wrapped in bubble for the next 3 months or not allowed anywhere near any 1200 lb animals.

On another note, what is the relevance of the picture to the post?

Wow, I guess they really want Phillip on the team!
I feel for the Good Witches'team, she really deserves to be on the short list

This is my favorite spoof photo yet...an idiot grandstanding...the introduction of a few more idiots to the bunch of idiots...or maybe just plain heralding the parade of pandas? Anyway, got a good laugh out of me.

As everyone seems to have noticed, my photo selections for posts always have a purpose or point related to the article even if they are ridiculous. I'm very particular in picking my photos, and often times they make a subtle point underneath the relatively obvious point. This photo straight up made me laugh, so I had to include it, but I was getting at the fact that today's additions seemed relatively inconsequential. Everything I hear is that Woodburn is locked and loaded.

This is also my favorite photo!! I am still laughing, it makes me smile every time I click on EN............TX John :)

Why in the world would anyone be sarcastic about phillip and Buck? We are so lucky to have them. Does anyone need to be reminded about the 2008 olympics?

You mean where Phillip got a DQ? Those Olympics?

And the cell phone at Rolex...another DQ if the GJ hadn't been asleep at the wheel...and I'm a PD fan so please everyone around him, imprint the damn rulebook on his brain, do it for your country....consider it a civic duty!

At least he was good enough to get round and as of yet, haven't read the rule in the book that says you can't use a cell phone while stopped on course to find out what the owner wants you to do with the horse you are sitting on. Are either of you at Olympic level because if you are i will listen to you, until then be grateful that the US may go to Kentucky with a CHANCE to medal--a large part due to Phillip and Buck.

actually Fluffer....using a Cell phone while on course is expressly against the rules. We all understand why he did it...and agree that it is thoughtful...but it is considered unauthorized assistance by the rules. He could decide to Retire the horse on course and then call the owner...but once out on course...he is on his own (whether we agree with the rule or not). I'm sure PD knows that rule now...and no, before he did it...I didn't know about that rule either.
