no horses have died in this race (there are vet checks at every 20 ks, if any horse shows a high rate, distress, lameness they are vetted out)...no riders killed, but a few injuries......
here is the amazing electra bbp murdoch, who the sheik wanted to buy for millions of dollars, but they wouldnt sell.....
i told her that her that she was so charming, and that she must remember a potential partner could be watching, and even if they were repubs, they'd be damn scared of her volatility ..... (the thread quickly got pulled).......
(but i am still angry with the genral who made them land on the wrong side of the cove, and the rhetoric fed to those poor soldiers, to sign up even so young as 15!!)
YEH BUT THIS IS THE TOM QUILTY.......ITS AS HARD NAILS AS YOU CAN GET!!!.....EVER HEARD OF THE TEVIS CUP THATS HELD IN THE US????
THIS IS GUT-BUSTING GRINDING STUFF ZEE....NOT SHOW PONIES, AND DRESSAGE....THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE THE HARDEST HORSE RIDING DISCIPLINE KNOWN TO MAN.... 160KMS IN LESS THAN 24HOURS,200 PLUS HORSES AND RIDERS, SET OUT JUST PAST MIDNIGHT, OVER AND DOWN GULLEYS AND HILLS, THROUGH ROCKS AND BUSH.......
tom, i do not take the detention of this lady lightly........ or anyone held in prison WITHOUT good reason/suspiscion to be there.....happened in gitmo (if you think they were given fair hearing/right to trial, then you aint heard fo nearly all that are satill in there now, having never been to court yet!!!!!!!!!!!) will and has happened in other countries too...
AMERICA CANNOT POINT THE FINGER ON THIS ONE IS WHAT I'M SAYING
might i just add zee.....no its not the richey rich he REALLY hangs out with, its actually all the incredibly talented and knowledgeable horsey people...yes believe it or not!! heres the proof....
MEG WADE, QUILTY ENTRANT: Our major client is Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, who's the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, and the Crown Prince of Dubai, and he's also the largest owner of thoroughbred horses in the world, of Godolphin and the Darley Stud.
(he rode that year on a toft-bred horse bremervale justyce, but was vetted out on a high-heart rate).....
and yes he gets up at 2am, drinks coffee out of a flask and picnics like everyone else, then rides the whole 160klms in between 12-16hours on his own, no-one hlding his hand.......... man this is one tough horse race and only arabians/part arabians horses are known to be able to do it successfully
hahahaha.....i wish!!!!..........nah strictly business,he has other people doing all the 'dirty' work, but the horses are kept in conditions better than you or me!!!......... not that they were my horses, but i helped select the particular order of endurance horses for their skin color/height/bone/heart rate/conformation/heat vulnerability, and was over there for a week at a time to make sure they settle in, so every year would do a few days over to other countries.......do it once a year, since about 1995....but i aint heading to afghanistan again for awhile.......
it would be a bit like this now...................
might i add also that with the purchase of the new stallion (did i mention before he is the grandson of a world champion), i will be venturing into the field of arabian racing, overseas, as it is only a 'hobby' in australia
you still dont get my point tom..............injustices happen throughout the world, citizens are pawned and sold out, through-out history..... some iraqi's say saddam didnt get a fair trial.......
do you see what i mean now?????????????
its not just in muslim countries that dont have fair trials, according to the case and who is being charged......
it happens everywhere, EVEN IN AMERICA........
but you shout so loudly becuse shes a US citizen, and oh my lord, how dare they do that 2 one if us???????????????
ps:of course obama's not going to admit if she was a spy......her fate would be even worse then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
