An endurance organiser says she will never host FEI competitions again because of the behaviour of Group VII (Middle East) riders at her CEI in August.

A yellow warning card was issued to one UAE rider for incorrect behaviour, and anothers placing was demoted to completion after their altercations with road-crossing stewards at Barbury.

But organiser Linda Kidd believes further violations escaped censure because they were not reported within the FEIs 30-minute rule.

Organisers hand over their site to FEI officials an hour before the start. Mrs Kidd says inappropriate corral areas and gazebos were erected too close to the vet hold area, creating a potential health and safety risk. She also alleges that the new limit on crew numbers was not enforced.

We have run FEI events for four years, and this was the first time weve had Group VII, she said. Dealing with the Dubai Equestrian Club (DEC) took up 95% of my time.

Barbury was just eight days after the new FEI rules took effect on 1 August. You would have thought the UAE would try to respect them.

Mrs Kidd wrote to Endurance GB (ECB) chairman John Hudson, but says he didnt answer all her concerns. She also believes he understated rule-breaking during UK rides this summer in comments to H&H about the sponsorship EGB is discussing with DEC.

Mr Hudson said: EGB are fully aware of the issues that arose at the Barbury Castle event and accept that we did not publicly acknowledge this. We would like to reassure members that we have received a full report from the organiser and are taking this experience into account when planning FEI rides in 2015 and beyond.

Liz Finney, chief steward at Barbury, told H&H: We did not find more than the allowed number attending any horse. There was obviously a large contingent of UAE grooms in the crew area due to the number of UAE-trained horses competing.

This news story was first published in Horse & Hound magazine (13 November 2014).

YORKS market has reopened under a new name following completion of the latest phase of a 1.6 million refurbishment.

Shambles Market has new-look stalls and kiosks and improved weatherproofing and lighting.

A dozen new traders have already signed up for regular pitches and a number of existing traders have requested extra space to expand their businesses.

Seven new-style kiosks, which are already oversubscribed, will open in the New Year with a mix of hot food outlets and products ranging from watch and watch repairs through olive oil to body art.

Councillor Sonja Crisp, Cabinet Member for Leisure at City of York Council, said the new traders would sell quilts and linens, woodcarvings and daily chinaware as well as beads and crafting materials.

The full works are expected to be finalised in the spring.

Stallholder Paula Hind, who runs Sheilas Fruit and Veg stall with her husband David, said the revamp still had a long way to go, saying some parts of the market were very untidy and some stalls were under grubby temporary gazebos.

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Alfonso Soriano the greatest Washington National of all time has announced he lost his love for baseball and is retiring.

Ive lost the love and passion to play the game, Soriano reportedly said in a radio interview this week in his native Dominican Republic. Right now, my family is the most important thing.

Now he can go back to the multi-million-dollar Florida mansion he bought earlier this year the 7,800-square-foot Mediterranean mansion, gated and guarded by lion statues and spend more time with his family.

You know, the home he bought from Washington Redskins president and general manager Bruce Allen.

Yes, under the category of small world no, make that the small bizarre world of Washington sports, Soriano paid $2.7 million for the mansion owned by Allen, who was the general manager for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2004-08.

Allen and his wife, Kiersten, bought the home in 2004 for $2.72 million and listed it for sale in January at $2.99 million, according to the Tampa Bay Times. He wound up selling it for the same price he paid for it 10 years earlier, the Times reported.

Its quite the palace.

Located in what the Times described as Tampas ritzy Avila country club, the mansion has seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a library and billiards room, endless closets and a 4,000-bottle wine room the size of a small apartment, the sales listing showed.

Thats a lot of Thunderbird.
