§
Team Performances: European Championships 1999 – 2003
...
WEG JEREZ
0)Completing this event was perfectly
feasible; several of the bigger teams did so in excellent conditions. For
example, of the 7 French horses, 5 were amongst the top 12, 2 were retired
unhurt, none required treatment, and the next day, none was lame and none showed any discernible signs of
having undertaken such an effort the previous day.
0)Even if a veterinary control were
imposed every 5 kms, incompetence and madness would still take their toll.
The only measure that is truly preventive is the qualification standard required. It’s up to the
FEI to raise the existing standard and impose it.
For example, I have been saying for years that the
acceptance of hired or borrowed horses in the last weeks before an event is
contrary to the equine code of rights ( ? ? ? ?) ;
I warned in 1998 : « Beware ! This is crimimal ». We all
know the outcome…
0)We love our horses, we work hard and
we’re very demanding; we shouldn’t have to put up with more controls because of
the actions of incompetent or self-seeking
participants. It is they who must improve and be taught to love and respect
their horses and their sport.
By fixing appropriate qualifying standards, the FEI has the
means not to encourage mediocrity and its ravages at this high level of competition.
0)Our refusal of greater veterinary
control and shorter events and loops is based on 25 years of experience and on
the fact that shorter loops, and shorter events, are known to make it easier
for mediocre riders to participate, to increase the overall speed and to oblige the best riders
to go at a much faster pace in order to impose themselves. The FLORAC Endurance
championship had 4 vet gates and the
best accident-free results in 20 years…
We cannot agree with the idea that there would have been no problem had there been more vet gates:
ØIt’s wrong: a careful analysis of the
2 mortality cases will prove this.
ØIt’s tendential: it’s a self-serving
argument by those in favour of more vet gates and shorter distances. Who are
they? What have they achieved?
Let me conclude with 3 questions :
-Is it not time to listen to experience and prevailing
knowledge and consult the exisiting statistics?
-Is it not time to introduce a proper grounding in training
and technique, instead of persisting in
believing that Endurance is
purely a question of medecine?
-When will it be finally understood that a World Championship
is sport at its highest level - and therefore perforce an elitist event bringing together only the very best in the
world - and not a training
ground or a garden party ?
Fond greetings; I hope we will be able all together to have
truly technical discussions – I don’t doubt the good faith of the FEI
Commission nor its commitment to further our sport at the highest level.
Pierre CAZES
Chef d’Equipe de
France d’ Endurance
(3 gold medals at World Championships/by Team)
P.S. : If
Endurance becomes an Olympic sport, it will be thanks to the professionalism
and quality of participants, not because of a greater number of veterinary controls.
Let us once and for all accept the idea that only the best
in the world should compete at this
level (a limit of 80 or 100 entries would also increase the event’s media
impact and make life a lot easier for the organizers).
CONGRATULATIONS to the organizers of JEREZ 2002, it was a
grand and memorable event.

Message from Desiree Hanen, NED
Many of us have a subscribtion to
Endurance World Magazine. It looks like since the
September/October issue no magazines have been
published anymore.
E-mails
I sent to different addresses at Endurance World have been replied by an automated reply only.
No further reaction/information from
their end so far.
I
checked with several people and it appears that it is not only my problem, but that indeed none of
them received any issues for half a
year.
Did
anyone of you receive any? Does somebody know more on the backgrounds of why we didn't receive any new issues of Endurance World Magazine?
6
months of waiting is in my opinion long enough. I think action is required now to make them aware
they should continue publishing of
Endurance World and not
only cashing the money for it.
It
would be a shame if this magazine would be allowed to vanish just like that. In my opinion this glossy magazine can be seen as a valuable tool for the exchange of information on endurance around the
world and as mature promotion material
on our sports.
Please
send your reactions to me by e-mail: opgenbusschelen@yahoo.com
