Peter was honored as the 2003 recipient of the Whitney Stone Cup by the United States Equestian Team (USET). Each year, since 1980, the USET has recognized an individual who has achieved a distinguished record in international competition while also serving as an ambassador for the USET and equestrian sports by presenting them with the Whitney Stone Cup.
"I think Fein Cera is the only horse in my life I've ever ridden without spurs," Peter Wylde commented during the Olympic showjumping trials. "She doesn't look like a sensitive horse when she's out there going around, doing her job, but she is. She's sensitive and hot. I wore spurs for my last round at the World Equestrian Games because I needed a little more speed. But if I use the spurs too much, well..." Apparently Fein Cera can become disenchanted with the spurs.
