[RC] FW: Pulled Vet Cards [was RPR] - Kristen A FisherThis is a HUGE pet peeve of mine for exactly the reason Angie
states. She had 80 miles of data on that card that is now lost to her. What has
AERC done with that card or that data?
In Aug 2004 or thereabouts, EN ran a blurb requesting input on disposition of pulled rider cards. I gave my input [see below] and never heard any more about it. I have no problem giving the AERC that data to do with as they wish - but I paid my money to join AERC and enter the ride, and if I am pulled I would at least like to take home one piece of paper - or get it back from AERC when they have complied whatever they are compiling. THIS is something I'd like to see the BoD discuss. Kristen Fisher AERC # M32770 From: Kristen A Fisher [mailto:kskf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I also wanted to weigh in on the disposition of
rider cards. I have no problem at all with the AERC keeping a copy
and compiling the information a rider card, and think that long term it
will contribute to better horse welfare.
However, I have 2 reasons for wanting my
card back:
1) I keep detailed files of all my rides, so I
can track if our speed is improving, what problems we may have had, what
successes we may have had, etc. As I hope to have many happy years competing on
my horse, this is part of how I am painting that picture as it provides valuable
horse management data
2) I prefer to keep the original
card, as it often time may have a map on the other side I can refer to for rides
in the same location, as well as it illustrates the ride in a way no copy
can - with smudges, worn edges, and the like - in a way it is a badge of honor
more so than any completion award is.
My preference would be that the AERC make and
keep the copy [would be easier to file than a ton of mangled cards anyway] and
mail me my original as the original card means a lot to me - even if doesn't
indicate a completion.
Again, I hope this input is of
interest.
