I saw Chimiere in NYC in Battery Park. It was
amazing and the horses ran a flat out canter in an indoor tent oval w/ no more
that a 30' diameter in water. I'll never forget what i saw that
night. ts
yes, I saw him performing in the beginning of his career. This
guy has an exceptional charisma and quite a magic touch with the horse and the
public.
Also we got several reports about bartabas at the french and
belgian television :-) he is a character
the last shows, I must say, I
don't like as much : less horses.

Hello Leonard, Have you
seen Batabas? It is true beauty. There may still be other
people in the Village to see and other horses in training, so it still may
be worthwile to visit w/ the second string. To see how they
live. They are nomads from another time. ts ----- Original Message
