Re: RC: FEI Horses

Yep, let me tell you though, even with them eliminating the second go around 
on the third loop it was still challenging.  I would say that it is still 
more difficult, terrain wise, than Tevis.  I will be back next year to go 
faster since I know what the course is like.  I feel better about Novah and 
myself when we ride a challenging ride and finish in good shape.

There are many places that would be great for championship rides, but like 
you said FEI wants fast rides not challenging ones.  Pan Am in Canada this 
year was not flat and it had a lot of deep sand and it was a challenging one. 
 Too bad that Pan Ams are challenging rides with terrain that tests a horse 
vs. Worlds that want very fast rides.

Well, here is to conditioning Novah for next year as we nominate for worlds.
