[RC] Would you turn down $1.9Mil for your horse - Dubai winner - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Liz Henry liz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx =============================================================== Talked to someone last evening who knows Dubai gold winner Barbara Lissarrague and her mare Georgat. He said that Barbara was offered $1.9M BEFORE the WEC and she turned it down! Would you? Mind you, Barbara is not wealthy, her husband logs with draft horses, the old way and wouldn't make close to this amount in his entire lifetime. After her win, Barbara was offered $3.2Mil and while this is being negotiated, rumor has it that she will accept the offer, details not available. She owns the mare 50-50. The person I talked to has known the mare since her first ride and said that from the beginning, this mare showed good recoveries but nothing extraordinary. He felt her training had a lot to do with her reaching her potential. Back to the fascinating subject of how much genetics vs. training play a role..... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
