In response to:" But with ALL this talk about the promotion of 100 mile 
rides, why is it that the covers of EN do not reflect the winning horses 
of the big 100's ????  "

First - there has to be a picture of the winner taken sometime during 
the day when there's good light.  You don't know they are winners then...

Second - someone has to submit the photo with the photographer's 
permission to the AERC office as a possible cover picture.  The office 
doesn't solicit pictures - they just get them sent by members.

The photo is chosen from those submitted on the basis of whether it 
looks good and can be enlarged to cover size.  Sometimes with the new 
digital cameras - a photo is submitted that was taken at low or medium 
resolution to save space in the memory and it looks pixelated at cover 
size.  I've had this happen after a photo of Julie Suhr at Ft 
Schellbourne was selected but was medium resolution.

So all these things have to happen for a photo to reach the cover.  Plus 
the rider has to be wearing a helmet if mounted for the photo to be used.

There's certainly been photos from Tevis on the cover but I don't know 
if the winner ever made the cover.
