Is this the one that has the sheik's trainer and his horse, and the guy
lays a horse down and stands on him and such to get him over spooking? 
It has Valarie in it and it's a qualifying ride for the championship? 
I've got a copy of that one (people pity me for not having any TV
reception and tape things for me).  

The one I'm talking about didn't impress me much at first (other than the
scenery).  Too much talk of being "one with the desert" and such, while
he was doing your standard Lyon's roundpen training...then I watched it
about the 5th time and realized that most of what the guy with the horse
said was O.K...it was the narrator who threw in all the bull.  Not many
people would recognize their own quotes by the time a newspaper get
through writing a story about them.  Can't blame the participants in the
film for the narrator's additions. 

 One thing I DID get out of the film was an idea of how utterly
rediculous it looks for 100 4x4 vehicles to be following a bunch of
endurance horses down the trail.  That's the stupidest thing I've ever
seen.
