Ridecamp: RE: [RC] [RC] FEI Ride aka Masters Series

An interesting aspect of this predicament is that AERC Rules
allow the participants to get credit for the ride
non-the-less if you take the following rule at base value;
8.4  Career mileage credit only for AERC members and equines
who participate in FEI rides or endurance rides in a foreign
country at least 50 miles long and sanctioned by an AERC
recognized organization.

The ride will be FEI sanctioned, in a foreign country and of
a distance that is approved by the AERC. There is no place
in the AERC Rules and Regulations rescinding overall
sanctioning if a non-sanctioned event is held in conjunction
with an AERC Event.

While I deplore the inclusion of the Master Series, the
financial boost from the sponsor does have a great
influence.

As for <<<FEI not being able to sanction a ride unless it
was AERC sanctioned?>>>>In Canada the FEI deals with
Canadians not Americans. So in that instance the AERC has no
influence.

I have a question.  According to AERC rules, can a separate
unsanctioned 75
mile ride be run in conjunction with an AERC sanctioned
event?  I thought
that you couldn't do that? Also, wasn't there something
about FEI not being
able to sanction a ride unless it was AERC sanctioned?  k
