Hi Debi,

don't know about the USET-money-thing, but in 1990 the WEG in Stockholm/Sweden,
also included endurance - remember Becky and Rio galopping in the big stadium
where the show-jumping took place. The show jumping was stopped and the riders
are announced. There was a big "Ooohhh" when the crowd noticed that Becky and
Rio just finished 100 miles.
