the Malaysia-Thailand Open Endurance Challenge was held last weekend at Terengganu International Endurance Park and. Apparently this event is the biggest since the season started on January this year. For the first 6 months, endurance riders all over Malaysia only be able to compete at RTES Training Ride (with no prize money, just qualificiation) when two major organizer called off their event that was supposed to be held in April & May anually. and the Mas-Thai Challenge held in Pattaya doesn't cater much riders & horses, only 14 were brought there to compete.
Mr.John astride Lorraine, Me not riding (in case nobody noticed! ha ha) & hubby on the right astride lovely Mama Tembo. right before the flag off.
I picked the numbers! 50 & 70!
Pian (Yusran bin Yusof) from Selangor Turf Club Endurance Team
Meso (Ramso Ramli) from Selangor Turf Club Endurance Team
we collaborate with STCET to form a team named - The Red Riders ; because we only have 2 riders, team event must be declared upon having 4 riders - you can mix clubs or teams as long as you guys can get along well. so, TMKN 2 + STCET 2 = 4. and the name were inspired by The Red Warriors - Kelantan Football team, as they are all Kelantanese. ;P
warming up before the flag off, kind of isolated from other people. we just wandering around our holding tent.
YDP Agong & Pemangku wearing vest number 9 & 11.
His Highness's horse shook the head before me. ha ha. but I must give compliments to the king, he is a GOOD RIDER!
hubby's horse is too shy for pictures.
ala tomey-tomey nya. tomey tak?
Anyss astride Puteri from K7 stable
Gibrail - the horse that has been given second chance for living!
he is having back pain because of unproper saddle fitting. he is huge and kind of thin, and the saddle been used all this while was giving hard time on his spine. His owner(in pictures below), asked my hubby to take a look at his condition and to tell him whether his problem is treat-able or not. If yes, he'll live longer but if not, Gibrail will never be transported back to Teratak Nalys anymore. instead, he will be going to slaughter house ended up being meat floss.
But Rezeki ALLAH nak bagi tak siapa tahu. bukan setakat pass free vet check(the crucial examination before the ride which determine you can compete or not), Gibrail also completed and placed second in 40km category!!! alhamdulillah..panjang umor lagi yek.
these men in green is from Teratak Nalys Stable.
Dato' Shuhaimi(the owner) & Raja(I think so, i don't even know his name!).
