As Dylan Thomas once said:  "He who is not busy
being born, is busy dying..."

The USA needs to make use of modern technology,
and we aren't.  History tells us, as a nation, we
fall short when it comes to being innovative or
even WILLING to listen.  Horse Racing in the USA
is a joke compared to Sweden and Japan (to name a
few).  Endurance is getting to be the same way.

SURE money talks.  It can BUY you knowledge and
the best.

Where do you think the USA got their best
engineers and rocket scientists from?  Foreign
soil...yup, and the USA had to BUY it.

I have known Tom Ivers for 20 years, read almost
all of his books, subscribed to his newsletter and
tried like h... to get him involved in endurance.
Well guess who did first?  He is now in Abu Dhabi,
sipping papaya juice and grinning all the way to
the bank.  They bought his knowledge, USED it and
won.

Wake up, Amerika!!!

BTW, Gayle Ecker and her research team will be at
the Biltmore ride in May.  This ride is notorious
for having a poor completion rate and for having
many horses needing to be treated.  Ideal place to
gather information.  This is, with the exception
of a very few, an important ride for research.
For those riding, do take part in the study.
Others, come watch and learn, then take it home
with you and USE it.

We CANNOT beat the UAE in the future if continue
to be "backyard" riders only.

Tom Ivers says he, too, will probably be at the
Biltmore.....
