International Endurance Concerns

I do love the distance sports.  Even though I'm out of the loop, I still enjoy reading endurance, and contemplating the conditioning and stamina of the top horses in the sport.   But international is being tainted by doping scandals.  It's too bad that "winning" over-rules the welfare of the horse on this other endurance platform.

...the  “negative evolution” of endurance in the Middle East is now so unacceptable that concerned endurance riders and officials elsewhere in the world believe a breakaway movement should be considered."  ~ Horse and Hound.

A breakaway movement indeed.
