Lisa Wilcox to Return to the United States
January 25, 2006
 Our American partner website Dressagedaily published
the scoop that American Olympic team rider Lisa Wilcox
is moving back to the United States. After twelve years
living
training and competing in Europe, Wilcox is
leaving her current employer Dr Samuel Schatzmann in
Switzerland and returning home.
Wilcox plans on moving to Florida in March 2006, where
she will set up a small training operation with her
sister Stephanie and long time friend and manager Cindy
Snowdon. Lisa’s plan is to take no more than
11 horses in training so she can focus on the horses
and clients/students riding with her.
As an American living and competing in Europe, Wilcox
has had to qualify for the USET by earning higher percentage
points than her teammates qualifying in the USA. In
spite of the difficulty of this situation, she succeeded
in making two US Teams, and has been an invaluable
asset to the United States by being a well spoken and
well represented ambassador of the sport of Dressage
in Europe.
Nevertheless, she is nervous about the huge
change about to take place in her life. "I left
for Germany 12 years ago with no fear and great expectations.
It's odd, but now that I am returning home, I am more
nervous than I was back then." Wilcox has returned
to America throughout her time in Europe to do several
well received and successful clinics, including the
2004 USDF Symposium. The attractive well spoken and
richly experienced rider and trainer has nothing to
be nervous about at all.
