Title: Alfa Bet Soup

Wow.....  Okay, Board members, what is going on?  Is the Pan Am going to be affected by any of this bro-ha-ha since it is an FEI event and AHSA is the NGB?

" The clause was in the AHSA administrative rules well before the AERC ever joined. The fact is the responsible persons in AERC did not do their home work. By signing on with AHSA they agreed to the clause and then like so many other times in the administration of AERC matters they said, at a later date, WHOOPS!!!!  "

 

 

Hey Bob - cough up with the AHSA administrative clause, I want to see it!

 

Will be interesting to see how this whole thing pans out.  Since I'm sitting in the peanut gallery

I'm obviously not seeing the whole picture.  Good thing I'm not an FEI rider now - I'd be wondering

if this is going to affect future international competition.
