On this note how many other physically
challenging sports allow 5 year old or younger to compete. A 5 year old skiing
down a mountain can't be compared to a 5 year old spending 24 hours in an
physically and mentally challenging horse race.
I agree that AERC is being irresponsible by
allowing this to happen.
It's a dog-eat-dog kind of world out
there - If I were you, I'd carry a big stick and say "moo"
