Could it be the horse's records in these other countries are showing that they are better horses?  Do they have a better base of training than the US horses?  In the international rides are these countries placing higher than the US horses/teams?  If I was out to purchase the best, I'd go where the best horses are, political policies or not.

Isn'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.
