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 i
n th
at instance the AERC has no
influence.

Subject: [RC] [RC] FEI Ride aka Masters Series
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
The FEI ride will be held on June 29th. It is part of the
UAE sponsored
Endurance Masters Series. This series has a very large
purse to overall
winners in each region. I realize this is a very
controversial topic but
I
wanted all international or potential international riders
to be aware
that
this is a qualifier for PAC or Worlds. The latest FEI
criteria is that a
horse has to have done a Star 2 or 3 FEI ride at 12 km/h.
This ride is a
Star 2 and is 120 Km (75 miles). A star 3 is 160 Km (100
miles). It is a
lot easier to do a Star 2 at 12 k/h than a Star 3. It is a
great
opportunity to get your FEI qualifier. AERC seems to be
very opposed to
this series of rides and has refused to sanction this
distance so it is
not
an AERC ride. I have also been refused advertising in a few
endurance
publications. So it will not be advertised in any other
form than this.
I do not want to start any great debate about this series
of rides I just
want to make all riders aware of this opportunity to get
your FEI
qualifier. Please contact Myna Cryderman by email
<mcryderman@xxxxxxxxx>or
by phone 204 - 534-2390 for further details.
