SQUADS

[Judi Ruffo]

So what happens now ..I note that the QLD squads are for 1 year, but we have lost a couple off the B squad one sold one passed away? will the squad stay short or will the selectors replace them with a couple of other worthy combos?

I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think they will replace the empty spots...at least I think they should.

Yes I did note that they are not obliged but I can think of a couple of combos that would benefit from inclusion and I'm all for spreading the funding around as we all know horses get sick go lame at the drop of a hat and usually just before that BIG event, I think that we should stive for the full 12 at all times

I e-mailed Maria a link to your first post, immediately after I replied. So the ball is in her court now.

Hi all,
We have looked at reselection a couple of months ago and decided to wait but now we do need to revise the situation. Only combinations will be put on squad if they are deservant and they have qualified, otherwise the slots will remain empty. I'll keep you in the line..........Maria
