If I am moving my horses from Malaysia to ride/race in say a' milder ' 
climate{cool and dry ] like Dubai in december I would fly in taday ,rest 
tomorrow to settle the kinks of travel and race the next day .This in order 
not to let my horses superior evaporative capability and ability to 
withstand the stresses of heat and humidity ,acclimatise to the milder local 
conditions .On the other hand if I am moving on to a hersher condition like 
from LA in november to Kuala Lumpur ,Malaysia ,Steph is right that 2 weeks 
is about optimal for the horses to acclimtise .This is with the proviso the 
US horses are already at their peak performance ,that 2 weeks represent the 
typical T.I ivers peakdown or scaledown in activity .
JMGF .Just my gut feeling .
Dont be unduly worried about horses and riders not prepared having" 
crashes".These unprepared speed demons  would be weeded out by phase or at 
the most 3 ,going by our previous experience .We unofficially define speed 
demons here as someone going beyond 15 kph average beyond phase 1 .That 
coincidentally  is the new CoC.
