Does anyone (Tom?) know what the average performance life expectancy of the
horses are that are sent to the Middle East?  Or what happens to them when
they're finished?

I've heard some rumors from some folks that were there, and it wasn't
pretty.  I know it's an entirely different culture, with a different feeling
about their horses and what they expect of them.

OTOH, maybe sometimes not so different from some US riders I've seen.

a deep felt relationship between the rider and the horse. Without it you are
lost.  I just hate to see such good material
(our horses) going over there and are waisted on vanity.  Jerry
