RE: [RC] qualifications for the WEC - StephTeeterI'm a little late getting through the RC email, apologies if these issues have already been addressed. Regarding qualification - the FEI qualification that must be met is that the horse must have received a 'certificate of capability' - for Championships (160 km) the horse must have completed a 160 km FEI event. The FEI rules are stated in such a way that this doesn't rule out a 2-day event - 160kms in 2 days. This is how the (first) first place horse was qualified. There are also Federation qualification rules (mileages of horse and rider, 160 km rides completed, nomination procedures, etc) that are additional to the FEI qualifications.

That is the US has to have their qualifications and selection procedures approved by the USEF - not the FEI. In this case it seems that the UAE national federation has no such requirement.

When you go to the WEC site and all the interviews and press releases, etc are over on the right hand side of the page. The interview entitled "Shaikh Hazza's golden decision". In the interview where he's discussing why he didn't start Shadon, and why he chose Hachim, he states that it was Hachim's FIRST EVER 160km ride. What is up with that? It was my impression that these FEI rides had to be qualified for, as they are here in the states. Are the rules different in other countries? Maybe the 'host country' doesn't have to follow the samer rules? Maybe I'm an idiot and reading it wrong, but I'd sure like to know how you experts would interpret that? Surely someone wouldn't run a horse's first 100 in 7 hrs and 20 minutes. Take a look at the article and let's have a discussion! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
