Again, please excuse my ignorance on this subject but are these races in
these middle east countries governed by FEI? standards. I do seem to recall
seeing that the United Arab Emerates brought a team to Kansas for the World
Cup so that country must be familar with organized endurance riding . Are
these the same horses that are racing in the big money races in Saudia
Arabia. Also, is there a world wide organization that oversees these races
like AERC does here? What happens to these horses after they race in these
races - do they come back to the USA and compete here or is there a middle
east racing circuit (like a show circuit)
