Re: [RC] did AHA give in or did they have no choice - Diane Trefethenheidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:I didn't save the original, but that sure wasn't what I got out of it. He The letter is a "President's Update" dated May 13, 2005. Anyone can read it at http://secure.arabianhorses.org/enews/pres_bulletin_20050512.html The only reference to the merits of the case is #4 below. If that's the most positive thing he could say about the SA breeders' case, I can only assume he must have a great deal negative to say but can't due to his position. Diane ---------------------- Here are the 7 quotations I found that contained both reference to the SA situation AND some sort of positive comment: #1 Today, I am pleased to tell you that our remaining lawsuit involving the South American breeders who have sought recognition by the Arabian Horse Registry, now AHA, has been settled. #2 I want to point out that this agreement contains certain business benefits for our Association while enhancing the timely data we can make available to all breeders. #3 The successful conclusion of this lawsuit is significant in that it settles a long-standing dispute between two camps of members, both passionately devoted to the good of the breed. #4 It recognizes the reality of both sides of the argument. #5 It took many hours of deliberation, discussion and soul searching to make this agreement a reality. #6 By reaching this decision, we have eliminated the possibility of a court dictating to us what we must do or not do. #7 As your president, I view this successful conclusion as a milestone in our history. For the first time in many years, we have no lawsuits to drain our time and energies, and most importantly, our financial resources. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
