Thanks Steph.You and Dinah Rojek have been  excellent ambassadors for your 
country.I hope both of you have enjoyed the short sojourn in our countryFor 
Dinah it was really really short.She flew in and the next day we know she 
was already out,to another endurance ride I guess.
Yes  we do think that FEI has erred here in setting up the bar too high.If 
you Americans,Canadians and Australians are generally not happy with the the 
 bar I wonder whereit originate from.Could this be the work of the 
influential "Toulouse Group" in FEI.In Malaysia at least this bar certainly 
ensure us that we will never be able to compete internationally on our own 
horses as  prequalifying at that minimum 12 kph would never be a reality 
unless we have our horses reconfigured in heaven.
I did wrote about this to FEI a couple of years back when Mr Michael Stone 
was the Endurance Chairman but as you say Steph,FEI work in a peculiar sort 
of way. Obviously I was barking at the wrong tree.!But then the Chairman of 
the Endurance Technical Committee himself had officiated at our rides before 
a couple of time in the past ??
If we have a choice between running our local horses to the ground to 
acheive prequalifying standards and riding lease horses forever overseas we 
will spare our horses  and carry on leasing.That one we know.
Hope to see you next year Steph.
