Gail Ross Will Likely Miss '64 Olympic Games EDMONTON (CP)--The 1964 Olympics is one goal that Gail Ross. had set for herself, but probably won't achieve. The dark-haired, brown-eyed Edmonton gir! who has gained international recognition for her talents as a performer on horse back says that Canada won't enter an equestrian team in the Olympics, "and it's too tough a deal to go it alone." She knows what it's like to be a "loner" at major horse shows. She competed for-six months in the British Isles this year, and found competition the keenest she has ever met "Everything was hard, The jumps were hard and the com- petition was hard. You either improved or you went home." Gail improved--"I made out ali right"--but she still won't go to the Olympics although Cana- dian Olympic Association offi- cials offered to help her make the trip. "Sometimes you just get beat by numbers--there are so many competing," she said. "You can't beat all of them, all of the time." FINE RECORD Miss Ross said that training, mostly on outdoor tracks, was an important factor in her im- pressive. record on the eastern horse show circuit this year. She was the only member of the Ca. nadian team to complete in all four major shows, at Harris- burg, Pa, Washington, New York and Toronto. And she won awards at all of them. These awards included the North American individual championship, the MacKay Cup and a share in the Canadian team's second-place finish in the] Nations' Cup. competition. | She calls riding alternately} her job, her career and her pro- fession, but says she is not alhardened to it as a professional professional equestrienne. \It's a delightful hobby, and 1 GAIL HOLDS ONE "Tt would not want to become with her parents when they took up the hobby 15 years ago. She then was six years old. "It was sort of a dollar-a-day deal--we rented horses at first." She started competing the fol- lowing year, and the competi- tion got into her blood. In high school, she gave up other sports to concentrate on her -studies and riding, After she finished high school, she gave up almost all other interests. "When you're pursuing one thing, it liminates everything else. I took eight years of piano, but I don't play any more." ~ y, Training her horses takes up 4 time. She said she spends at least six hours a day with her horses on her father's ranch 60 miles west of Edmonton, - "You have to have a gift for 4 riding.
