Re: [RC] Infiltrating the bureaucracy - Jeannie GillenThank you for all you are doing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ridecamp Guest" <guest-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 12:14 PM Subject: [RC] Infiltrating the bureaucracy Please Reply to: Sheila Larsen Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== You have NO idea how many horse folks are in government.LOL There are lots, for several years in this office alone, we had three endurance riders, two dressage riders, one team penner and several pleasure horse owners. Although they are no longer in the office, they are still in government, several in the position of making resource decisions. However, sometimes it places us in difficult positions, trying to balance our love for horses/trail riding and protecting the resource we may be responsible for (oh and balancing the politics that go along with those decisions). It is true though that we are in a unique position of bringing equine knowledge to the discussion table. I try very hard to educate horse people about impacts horses may have to the environment and non-horse people that horses are not necessarily the environmental disaster they perceive them to be. I will let other people judge whether or not I have been successful. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
