Re: RC: AERC and charges

[LSimoni197@aol.com]

What I would say if AERC were to adopt a policy to levy charges against the 
rider of a horse which died on a ride is;

"No new rider should join AERC, or do our rides."

I am so sorry any horse ever dies, yet all horses will die.
Most of us do our best to keep our horses heathly and sound, yet even in 
pasture and stalls illness, injury and death occur.  Why, or how do you think 
they can be totally avoided on a ride?

What a Salem Witch Hunt this subject has become.  I personally do not wish 
AERC to run around carrying a hot branding iron with the letter A, to put on 
the forehead of any poor person who had the misfortune to have a serious 
problem with a horse on a ride.
