Is that why the U.S. is getting their butts whipped? The other
countries are using young horses and riders and tossing the horses, when they
are hurt? I see the photos of the rides and I don't see any old farts with
classical riding form up on those front running horses......Perhaps it's a
good thing that the old farts don?t 'get tossed', eh? If I had to do 2500
miles before I could ride at that level.........I might be 90 by
then.

If they really need young,
low-mileage horses to field a team of sound horses, that is a damning
indictment. That would be an admission that they are using horses up
and throwing them
away.
