horse slipped due to wet surface I think, I still remember that evening, it was raining bad, it was raining before the ceremony, stopped for the ceremony and then continued again.. :)

[neoncigar]

wow, if this is how the qatari's opened the asian games 2006, imagine how spectacular if they host the world cup 2022!

[zhivana]

that was really tough on the horse... good thing he was wearing safety boots (old Macs) to protect his hooves from over-reaching and stumbling!

Are you stuck in Qatar too? Isn't that the Emir's son?

His name is Al-Thani.

Never heard of this, everyone has to have their own "Olyimpics" dont they lol. poor horse.. how many times was it stumbling around 3 or 4 times? thats really smart making it go up a flight of stairs. It was to awkward and clunky.
