It is wonderful to see three generations of ladies seriously interested in horses: Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Anne, and Zara.

I'm half and half with the idea of old powerful, rich and famous people yet competing, but the other half tells me, they should give back to the sport by taking real actions in helping the next generation, especially during these hard times, many sport talent that don't have the resources, its quite shocking the number. I am now sure that there will be a gap of next gen possible and we will never see what might have been.

In the UK, Zara Tindall and Andy Murray come to mind.

Are we talking about equestrian sport or all sports? After all, some, like yachting, polo and competitive equestrian require very deep pockets indeed.

I mean, I think we all know that if Zara, or Anne for that matter, had been the child of a local supermarket or postal worker they would probably have not been able to reach the Olympic level, simply because the financial cost would be almost insummountable.

In the case of tennis I suppose professional athletes are driven by their competitiveness even when their bodies are getting past it. However I have wondered in the last few years how long people like Federer and Serena intend to go on for. Why not retire, Serena, and help someone younger achieve their potential?

All sports, as today there are big clubs, associations that are sponsoring rookies that have real potential identified and no financial resources. But the number of big clubs and associations are minimum compared to the entire universal list.


I love Serena, I'm half/half, I think she would be great if she joined forces to demand the 21st placing to 250 Women's Tennis Association that haven't received a penny during the past 6 months, no social security, no nothing (as was denounced during the US Open). Her answer was, she wants to learn more to comment about the newly formed PTPA, only athletes that want to help their fellow athletes, there is no men and women in suits here.

ETA, the United Kingdom has the best worldwide ''draft'' to emulate so to speak, they have as royal watchers know in Rugby with Harry, Football with William and Tennis with Kate, the programs, the pensions, the rookie financial help, including last year's regatta, 380/400 boat divisions from clubs that depend on community and member's benefactors. 

In the US Open, the GB players, except Andy and his brother all had financial help from Kate's Association of Tennis and Wimbledon organization.  Many US, Latin America, European country men/women couldn't attend.  The famous top 20 who didn't show up were afraid of Covid19, but out of the top 20 massively signed up with the new PTPA.

She always looks happy when she is on or around horses. But yes she is positively beaming on her horse  :flower3:

Fortunately for her riding is one of those sports people can do competitively for much longer then other sports out there. In Canada our top guy was Ian Miller for years. He was competing in the PanAm games in 2015 at 68 years old. He officially retired in 2019.

One of the few sports in which human athletes can have a longer than average career. I am happy to see Zara back in the ring, it's one of the reminders that things are slowly returning to how it was before the pandemic.
