Re: [RC] Buying: Reduced competition from Sheikhs - jan mutchlerIsn't the UAE continuing to purchase endurance horses through Australia, Argentina, France, etc.? I heard a few months ago that UAE was slowing its buying of US horses. This reduction of purchasing US horses may be due to political reasons, or more simply, maybe they feel they are buying better horses elsewhere with the types of bloodlines they feel are best suited for their type of competition.

This means that even good or excellent endurance horses will be available at far lower prices in the US. At the same time, UAE and Middle East purchases of Thoroughbred racing/breeding prospects is climbing. Why is this happening? I leave that question open for discussion. ti =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
