The Canterbury Endurance & Trail Club hosted the CopRice and Farmlands South Island Endurance & CTR Championships on March 8 and 9 at Brooksdale Station, Springfield, with some excellent results.
North Otago’s Susan Latta and her homebred mare, Tkiwa, were victorious in the main event, the CEI 3* 160km, never looking in doubt and eventually crossing the line in an excellent time of 9 hours 53. This was the pair’s fourth completion together at this level and Tkiwa, a part-bred Arabian by Euralea Light My Fire, also went on to win the Best Conditioned Horse Award.
Second in this class went to Sarah Hamer and Glendaar Amira Fire while Alison Higgins riding Twynham El Desiree placed third...

UAE: Marmoog's second name change adds fuel to 'ringer' endurance racing allegations
Telegraph.co.uk - Full Article
Horse previously known as Prince de la Sabliere had his name officially changed to JSAS which has wiped the name Marmoog from archived results on the FEI database

Allegations that there was a 'ringer' in the United Arab Emirates' 2012 world champion endurance team have been complicated by the unexplained decision to change the horse’s name a second time, and the discovery that he has a dual microchip identity.
Last week new evidence provided by The Telegraph prompted the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) to reopen its previously inconclusive investigation into Marmoog, the championship ride of HH Sheikh Hamdan, Crown Prince of Dubai.
Sheikh Hamdan rode a markedly dissimilar horse using the same identity in the 100-mile qualifier at Numana, Italy, two months earlier.
It has now emerged that Marmoog – also previously known as Prince de la Sabliere – had his name officially changed to JSAS on Sunday by the UAE federation five days after the Telegraph broke the story. This has the effect of wiping 'Marmoog' from archived results on the FEI database...

FEI approves revised agenda for the Extraordinary General Assembly
Horsereporter.com - Full Article
March 19, 2014
The FEI Bureau held its monthly teleconference on Thursday, 13 February, and approved a revised agenda for the Extraordinary General Assembly which will take place on 29 April in Lausanne (SUI).
The agenda includes two proposed changes to the FEI Statutes: the extension of the term in office of the FEI President and the creation of a new FEI body, the FEI Olympic Council. The main goal of the new Council will be to create a permanent liaison between the FEI and the members of the Olympic Family with an equestrian background.
The FEI Bureau also decided to postpone the ordinary FEI General Assembly 2014 until after the Extraordinary Session of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) which will be held in Monaco on 8 and 9 December. Key decisions concerning the Olympic Programme are expected to be taken by the IOC Session. As a result, the FEI General Assembly, which was originally scheduled to take place from 3 to 6 November 2014, will now be organised from 11 to 14 December 2014. The venue for the General Assembly remains unchanged (Dubai, UAE)...

Could a breakaway endurance body succeed?
The world is littered with the rotting carcasses of breakaway sporting groups.
Some, in high profile sports, have had millions of dollars in backing, yet still failed to prosper. Think Australian media mogul Kerry Packer’s rebel cricket league of the late 1970s and the Australian Super League war of the 1990s.
In the ranks of professional sport, breakaway groups have been formed for a variety of reasons, primary among them being player dissatisfaction over money or conditions, and television rights.
They struggle for much the same reasons that any business venture struggles. These alternative sporting leagues are invariably expensive to set up and face the task of luring fans (and players) from the established version of the sport. If they don’t get the fans at the grounds or in front of television sets, they don’t get the revenue.
So, with this in mind, is there any realistic prospect of success for a breakaway group in the world of endurance?
