RE: [AERCMembersForum] Re: [RC] 100 mile rides - heidiOne thing that could be an influence is the requirement in FEI venues of particular treatment for particular officials whereas all AERC officials(?) are volunteers and do not expect special treatment. i.e. the AERC officials, and the only one I know of is the Steward when required, are just riders like you and me. The FEI officials are appointed, mandated and have endowed status and often act OFFICIAL. Any one care to comment? All the more reason to dual-sanction our rides, IMO, so that we can get more "just riders like you and me" trained as FEI officials. One of the things that helps to make FEI officialdom user-friendly is to train more officials who are first riders, and therefore have a clue about what is supposed to be happening, and about what is actually important and what is just window dressing.
