The US show jumping program will undergo significant change in 2013 when legendary chef d'equipe George H Morris will retire from his position. He has led the US to back-to-back team gold medals at the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games and team silver at the 2006 World Equestrian Games.
The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) has formed a search committee to identify candidates to succeed George.
The show jumping chef d'equipe search committee members are:
Chairman: Eric Straus
Rich Fellers
Anne Kursinski
Beezie Madden
George Morris
Karen O'Connor
Will Simpson
The search committee members were appointed by USEF CEO John Long and based on recommendations from the USEF Show Jumping Eligible Athlete and High Performance Committees.
The search committee held its first organisational meeting this week and determined that open forums will be held this spring to solicit input regarding a job description. The search committee will then develop a job description and timeline which will be posted. Interested individuals will then be invited to apply.
