Re: [RC] [AERC-Members] Feral Horses - sharp penny--- Annie George <annie@xxxxxxx> wrote: One question I would have is how long how much vet attention, quarantine, quality inspection, inoculations and so on, these feral horses have had prior to being brought into a ride camp area? I too, think this is a very valid concern, but then I wonder the same thing about a few of the endurance horses I have seen a some rides. Obvously this would have to be addressed and ironed out (and would imagine in the works) but I believe when all is said and done thse BLM horses will be "safer" than some of our e-horses that show up at the ride. Also It kind of buggs me that BLM wants to sell us their horses but is planning on eliminating equestrians from some of their lands. hmmmm... where did you read that BLM wanted to sell us horses??? I was under the impression they just wanted a venue to help showcase their program and adoptable horses. And they are very difficult to deal with in getting permits for E/Rides on BLM lands. Isn't this why Randy pointed out that a partnership BLM would be advantagous to AERC and the whole point of letting them partner with us????

One thing that concerns me about this idea is the logistics. I know it's proposed for just a few rides, but as a rider, I've got all I can do to take care of me and my horse at a ride. I do a little visiting the night before a ride, but on ride day, it takes everything I've got to complete and take care of details. I wouldn't have time or the interest to look at horses at an auction, whether they are mustangs or Arabs or whatever. There is so much going on at an endurance ride, I can't imagine adding one more ring to the circus! chris --- ===== Chris and Star BayRab Acres http://pages.prodigy.net/paus -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =- -= Discussion List Archives: http://www.goldhill.com/members/index.html =- -= Subscribe/Unsubscribe: mailto: AERCMembersForum-moderator@xxxxxxxxxxxx =- -= Rules of Usage: http://www.goldhill.com/members/index.html =- -= Terms of Usage & Liability: http://www.goldhill.com/members/liability.html =- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
