However, the current AERC rules do not allow a
newborn, a 3 month or 3 yr old to be tied onto & ponied for
the entire ride since they are not in control of their horses, right?
Likely these institutions (Stanford medical school,
Johns Hopkins medical school or Harvard medical schools) would be happy to
advise all society on how we should live our lives. However, I don't see many
basing their lives on what "science" recommends. Show us the statistics
that prove an age rule is needed.

defending the fact that under the current AERC rules a parent could tie a 3
month old kid to the saddle and pony him for 100 miles. Under the current AERC
rule as soon as they exit the womb - they are eligible to do an AERC ride. Is
that what we really want? What Joe points out is a need to bring some reason to
the issue. Truman

I suspect these institutions would be happy to advise the AERC if
approached. I would like to see any rule based on science.
