Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Discussion (Resumed)
5:30 pm
Mr. Ronan Corrigan:
With regard to the Olympics, I would say it was just a degree of misfortune. We performed quite well going into them and performed quite well at them. The argument could be made that we almost peaked too soon. We had very competent riders and very good horses there. Everything looked very good and we were the number one team going in. We all said openly that we should not be shouting about being the number one team in the world because the rugby team was shouting that as well. Poles fall and tracks were very big on final days. We were just unfortunate.
