RE: [RC] French system - heidiWhy do you need to travel to Florida to practice flat, sand and hot weather. We don't do that. Many good riders just stay at home to condition their horses with the going and trails they have at home. I never even trailer my horse for 200km to go to North of Belgium (flat and sandy) to prepare for Dubai races. Leonard, Belgium THANK YOU for saying that, Leonard. I've long thought that we have been defeating ourselves at the world level by overpreparation and dragging our horses all over the place. When we won at a world level, it was because we trusted the very riders who had brought these top horses along and had peaked them--we didn't mess with their programs. Now that we take our top riders and horses and try to re-invent the wheel with them, we are not doing very well. Hmmmm...
