Re: [RC] [RC] FEI World Forum on Endurance - Maryanne Gabbani

Inshallah (God willing) a way can be found to let the fastrack play their game but keep the other styles. To lose everything but fast and flat would definitely not be good for the health of this sport.

One can't deny that Dubai is fueling (funding) the growth of FEI Endurance. But there are a lot of us (riders, Federations) that hope the sport can grow Internationally without changing it's nature. The UAE races are unlike races anywhere else in the world If we (riders. Federations, FEI) can just recognize this, and allow the sport to grow to accomodate the various types of Endurance -  UAE racing (fast/flat), and Tevis racing (slow/technical) and Malaysia racing (slow/hot) - where the terrain and conditions determine the nature of the competion - then we can stay healthy as a sport. Why not have divisions or classes of competitions. why must all of FEI endurance be seen through the same lens (the one which is fueling/funding the sport). ?
