Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] [RC] different sports? They are if you decide that they are. ... - Maryanne GabbaniAs a group, I think that Barbara is right. No one in the US is going to sink the kind of money that is subsidising the endurance RACING industry in the Gulf. This is an apples and oranges situation. If the French with government support for the industry want to compete with the Gulf governments in racing...good for them. Once in a while someone might have an extraordinary horse that they feel could cross the lines from endurance riding to endurance racing, and again, good for them.This is a case where I happen to like apples and the oranges in question are rather sour, dry and bitter. But at the end of the day they are different fruit. I'll bet there are plenty of people on Ridecamp who have played darts over a mug of beer and had a good time and maybe even gone into tournaments. I'm also willing to bet that there are very few, if any, who have enjoyed a game of dwarf tossing. It's similar to darts but you use little people who are willing to be tossed around. I've never played that either but I don't hear anyone saying that they are the same game, even though they both may involve considerable quantities of alcohol, a target and an object to be tossed.
