Re: [RC] [RC] Sultans Cup a tremendous success!! - Maryanne Gabbani

Maybe the magic formula is to have the riders actually have to endure
something that isn't of man's making to remind them that there are
things more powerful than mere humans and that they have to take care
of themselves and their horses.

Wonder if we could arrange a monsoon for the Pan Arab games ride here
in a couple of weeks.....now THAT would be a sight!

Dato Salleh said he was going to contact a local 'medicine man' to
arrange perfect weather for the event. I don't think the monsoon
drench was what he nogotiated, but there was definitely magic last
night.

# 71% completion rate overall
# 67% completion rate of International invited riders and horses
# Top 16 earned FEI Certificate of Capability (12 k/hr)
# First to finish in 10:31:50 at 14.86 k/hr


There are not many FEI 160km rides anywhere that can boast those
completion rates. And despite the rain (or maybe because of the
insanity of the rain) spirits were high throughout the event.

The FEI required completion rate of 40% was met. and then some!

definitely magic.
