FW: Re: [RC] UAE - Howard BramhallForwarded with permission:The sad thing is, that very rule is on their books. It's how their current law reads. Means absolutely nothing. They wrote it for the outside world to read and believe. Unfortunately, it's a law that does not exist,whatsoever. Our riders will most likely go over there in Jan. They're training right now, down here in Florida. They've prepared for this for quite awhile and, well, I'm sure they will all be going. And, with them, they will take the American Flag. And, fly it high, in a land where slavery is still prevalant. Their horses will travel on the very grounds, the desert sand, where, below, is buried many a young child who was abducted from a foreign land solely for the pleasure and enjoyment of the Sheikhs. For whatever reason, they, the Sheikhs, require a being who weighs less than 50 lbs to ride their camels. And when the 4 year old boy falls off the Sheikh's camel, during a race or even during training, his young, underfed frame trampled to death by the camel, the desert land is where his remains are placed, hidden from the outside world, in an unmarked grave. And, as our flag flies high, carried by one of our very own American endurance riders, in this foreign land where slavery still occurs, one might ask if we will continue looking the other way on this issue. For you see, the grave is unmarked, so, this reinforces the belief you cannot really see them at all. Will we continue accepting their ticket to ride for free, free travel, free lodging, free food, lavish parties or will we actually have the wherewithal to one day say NO? How many more young bodies will continue to be buried in the deserts of UAE before we actually do anything??? How long will we continue to look the other way? How long will we continue to ride alongside and compete with Slave Traders? How long will our flag be carried in a land where young boys are buried, in unmarked graves? And, nobody seems to care at all. cya, Howard
