Kathy was a student of Jane Marshall Dillon. Jane was a student of Capt. Vladimir S. Littauer. Both very influential on the subject of jumping. I have a friend who was also one of Jane's students. Kathy and Joe Fargis, a two time Gold Olympic medalist, were Jane's top two students. Kathy Kusner, for those who don't know, is also a prolific long distance runner.
Thank you for sharing this video! Kathy Kusner has been my favorite female rider since I saw her ride at the Garden in the '60s. She is a gorgeous rider with an amazing eye - worthy of hero worship! And Untouchable was breathtaking. ( I also loved Aberali.) This video is a real treat
I used to live in Salt Lake City Utah where Fleet Apple came from. Wasn"t he a reg.
American Saddlebred???? I might have been misinformed but if anyone knows for sure could they let me know at: equuscraig@aol.com. Thanks!

I found this video absolutely riveting . . . the schooling at the Mexico City Olympics,
the team course - which was practically unjumpable [even if our Canadian Team won!!] / / /
