[RC] WEC observations again - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Nancy Elliot ndedvm@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Heidi seemed to get my point well. Of course I expect lots of discussion, but 
people seem to always want to assume the worst and it is very east to pass 
judgement on another, but often not warranted.  The only thing I'm going to 
further comment on is to correct the impression that AERC is picking up the 
tab. AERC International members do fundraising for their zones and I think 
you'll find that money supporting FEI ride fees is coming from AERC 
International (it was in the past). The initial money was from a donation made 
by Mark Dees specifically benchmarked only for international support because 
all involved knew there would never be a large percentage of the membership 
participating at the FEI level. The funding of the teams, staff, travel etc. is 
from USEF (previously USET), whose support enabled those previously excluded 
from participation because of financial reasons to travel around the world with 
their horses if their performance merited it.
I guess my main reason for getting on RC at all was just to say try and view 
things from another, less negative perspective.
