As ususal Tom - few words of much wisdom. I am not one that takes kindly 
to this type of 'ass-whuppins' we have seen the last three WEC's. On the 
other hand I sure can not support the carnage of horseflesh it takes to 
compete in the present environment. So it is time for the US 
representatives to grow a set and demand the trials be true endurance 
trails like the OD, Big Horn, Tevis, etc. Damit we invented the sport - 
it's time for us to stand up and act like it. Endurance riding was not 
born on a course "designed" for racing. It was a sport to test the 
ability of the horse and rider to navigate what nature had to offer from 
point A to point B. I am sure you could find many good endurance courses 
in the Aps and down in Barvanian Aps.
