Frank and all others
concerned:
The AERC International Committee Statement of Procedures says; "The AERC
International Committee will represent and act for the American Endurance Ride
Conference in all matters pertaining to international equestrian endurance
riding."
To that end, if you have grave concerns in this matter you should direct your
comments to the Chair of the International Committee for action. The proper
parties are Russell Broussard and Mark Dial, the co-chairs. They can be reached
at russnona@xxxxxxxxxxx and markdial.swbell.net respectively.

[RC] UAE Involvement in AERC Functions
To the Executive Director, AERC and the Western States Trail
Foundation,
There are things more important than the rights of
horses to live and compete humanely in this world.
The rights of the children of our world to
grow up and become whole human beings free of the residue of having been used,
abused (physically, psychically and spiritually) far outweigh any concerns we
should have regarding LD's, 50's, 100's, awards, etc.
In view of the recent published reports regarding the
kidnapping, rape and murder of the smallest and least protected citizens of
Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and other countries by an element in the United
Arab Emirates, who might have found a manner in which to insert
themselves into the fabric of our sport, I ask that no monies be accepted for
"sponsorship" of AERC sanctioned events from citizens of the UAE, and that
organized "participation" by formally recognized representatives of the AERC
not be condoned or promoted in UAE events until the abhorrent practices
associated with camel racing in the UAE stops.
The camels have it the better, and that is a crying
shame.
