Rider Questionnaire

Thank you for your entries to the 2008 Spruce Meadows Tournaments.  As in past years, a rider questionnaire is sent out to all FEI  Jumper Division riders.  This questionnaire is incorporated into your Rider Biography for use in the Media Centre and by the tournament announcer.  Some of the questions may be repetitive if you have competed here before but your experiences and goals will change from year to year so we would appreciate you taking the time to fill it out.   This little bit of extra information about yourself and your horse will help the media with their stories, especially the Canadian media who are not as specialized in the sport as the Europeans. 

Thank you very much in advance for your help.  The best of luck to you at the upcoming tournaments this season and I look forward to seeing you at Spruce Meadows.
