RE: [RC] RC:Tigers In Malaysia - Steph Teeter

A good horse, comfortable saddle, warm tropical night air, a little expresso
(how's the coffee in Malaysia??:), I think it sounds like a pretty wonderful
way to pass 24 hours. (20 hours on the Tevis trail was not bad either). The
real goal is getting the horse down the trail, safely, and with satisfaction
at the end.

Subject: [RC] RC:Tigers In Malaysia


Pam,you are right ,there are lots of tigers still in Malaysia but where
Steph is riding  there is no tigers!I promise you we will deliver her safely
back to the States  arter the Edaran Classic. I was just pulling her legs
about the tiger story.The one you are alluding to is actually Bangladesh
where the fishermen at the estuary of rivers meeting the sea uses masks at
the back of their head.Tigers are excellent swimmers and has been known to
swim in the seas as well at least in Bangladesh.Over in Malaysia tiger
attacks are rare as there are still abundant of  their natural food stuff
such as deer and small mammal in the jungles.But occasional attacks do occur
in jungle fringes on palm estate workers by tigers that are usually
partially incapacitated by old age or traps etc etc.
Steph is bound to be mildly dissapointed with the way we do endurance in
Malaysia as ours is usually almost nearly a 24 hour affair.Heat of 30 to 40
centigrade wirth unremitting humidity day and night of around 60 to 70 %
impact on the ability of horses to dissipate heat.Thus if you average 11 kph
overall you can already count yourself a winner!
