RC: Re: ABU DHABI MILLENIUM CUP



yeah

well they started doing rides here in the uk about two years back. every one
panicked as they had a proffessional trainer and could buy what they wished.
However they have by no means won every ride they entered, and as most
people compete as a hobby on much loved horses they havent bought up all the
best ones here!

they ahve put in some much needed new blood in to the Uk rides scene and
also have assisted in making Endurance a more credible sport with the rest
of the horsey fraternaty.
