Un Re, il Re della Malesia S.H. Seri Padu-ka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, entusiasta cavaliere lui stesso e partecipante alla gara, con questo Campionato del Mondo Enduran-ce 2008 e l’autorizzazione ed assistenza della Federazione Equestre Internazionale (FEI) ha aperto la prima volta all’Asia que-sto sport meraviglioso ed entusiasmante.Non possiamo dimenticare i problemi dovuti all’ambiente tropicale con le sue temperature (30 ° - 40°) la sua umidità (70-95%) le pioggie improvvise e fi tte che si sono succedute.Ma anche questo e’ Endurance, hanno detto quasi tutti i cava-lieri, entusiasti di questa esperienza dura ma indimenticabile.

Thank you Malaysia!

A king, the King of Malaysia, His Royal Highness Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Abidin, an enthusiastic rider himself participated and his participation contributed much to the World Endurance Championship 2008 under the authorisation and assistance of the FEI, holding this sporting event for the fi rst time in Asia.We must point out that there were pro-blems, caused by the tropical temperatu-re (30°-40°) and the high level of humidity (70-95%). Also the intermittent rainfall, but this is also ‘Endurance’ rendering the Championship extremely diffi cult but unforgettable.
