Re: [RC] [Endurance Riding: News] Future of Olympic equestrian sport under threat - Maryanne GabbaniUmmmm, what's new? This has been the interesting political thing for me from day one of the UAE push to get endurance into the Olympics. They have been paying BIG, BIG, BIG bucks funding the FEI for almost 10 years now to get endurance into the Olympics, all the while the IOC has been saying that the only equestrian event that even might have a place in the Olympics was the Pentathalon...not a highly visual sport at all. I'll bet that most people don't even know it exists. The IOC has been trying to dump equestrian sport for years and I wouldn't be surprised at all if they do. But I can think of some people who are going to take a long hard look at the FEI and their checkbooks if they do dump them.
