[Steppes] No Equestrian at Steppes Warlord this year

[Jay Rudin]

Elizabeta,

Well done.  The measure of a truly good officer is the ability to make hard, 
unpopular calls when that's the right thing to do.  I'm sure this was hard 
for you, but you are clearly doing what's right for the equestrian 
community, and what's right for the Steppes.

I'm impressed.
