Re: [RC] half arab x arab cross - Pvan19

well.... I think it gives an idea of where our sport is or could be heading to in the future - so potentially relevant to all other 'endurance' countries?
 
I thought it might be interesting for some people to hear about a different system and it's recent changes
 
apparently that's not the case

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"?
