The review is very enlightening, however after reading this book I discovered the following websites which make very interesting reading - LOOK IF YOU DARE?? http://www.royalcourtofaffairs.com http://www.omanroyalcavalry.com These sites show the murder and neglect of the Sultans horses and I am totally appalled that people in this position can get away with this.
