Re: [RC] half arab x arab cross - rides2farCurrently BIG drawback of this system is that the french federation has > closed endurance competition to un registered horses a couple of years ago WHOA! So only *registered* horses can compete in France? BUMMER. I know you guys have a very serious breeding program but now this sounds as if the competitions are only there to promote the breeding programs. What a drag. Right off the top of my head here are a couple of horses who were "minus papers" Desert Ballad - He beat Pierez at the ROC, was I believe 3rd at the Pan Ams at about age 19...many wins & BC's. When his owner, Nina Warren was riding Ballad, Jedi...future World Champion, was her *backup horse*. >g< Whoa Jack- top 10 in *several* World Championships. Had a tremendous record of wins and 100% completion rate on 100's last time I looked. I"m sure there are tons more. What a pain for them to limit your riders like that. Any chance a more grass roots level of competitions will appear to serve the "fun rider"?
