Hi ridecampers! I followed WEC in Malaysia very
close ,because I had a friend of mine there (Arcaya riding Don
Pancho).No one of our chilean horses finished so it was worst than the USA
team,but I have some thoughts about this.First this is "their type of
endurance".There is a lot of discussion about the racing ,high speeds,flat
courses.So they(arabs) are very good on that,so good as spaniers ,argentine
and uruguay.Are they so good in mountains and hills?(like in chile and
USA).Could they be so competitive in our habitat?I think no because there is a
different type of racing,other type of horses and other strategy.Is the pilot
of Nascar who drives in oval the best card to win the formula 1?? I don
t think so.You USA dont must to be depressed because of the result of
Malaysia,you must be proud because the effort you did was great,in "their "
style. You guys have the great opprtunity to organize the next world
ecuestrian games,would you do it in their style????? why?? best
wishes Hans (Chile) sorry for my english
