Climate wise - Israel and Spain are basically semi-arid to arid. When 
Indonesia or Malaysia get enough horses through their system it would be 
very interesting to see what happens. Their climates are classic 
tropical - basically islands surrounded by water - which provides a 
stable climate year round. It's much like what you see in the Caribbean. 
It gets up to the low 90's, but because of the proximity of water there 
is always a cooling breeze. That helps to keep you cool.  I suspect that 
we can learn a lot from rides in the Northern Territory of Australia 
which should be similar - maybe a little less stable. The one time I was 
in Darwin, it was in Jan and it was quite hot but not near as humid as 
we get in FL in the summer or the arm pit of the world, a.k.a. St. 
Louis, MO ;-)  in August which can get brutally hot, humid and no breeze.
