Any one care to start things off? We then can have a spirited time that will be quite productive.

He is a world renowned horseman but a plain speaker and extremely entertaining. Some of his points to us included the reminder that a house divided cannot stand. The bickering that we do re: FEI vs AERC, LD vs endurance blah blah blah is not helping us grow the organization and our influence over the direction of the sport. ---------------------------------------------------- Chris, I think Denny's comments were spot-on when it comes to the bickering within AERC. As an organization we need to just knock it off! They are pointless debates that do nothing for the organization. Instead we need to focus those energies where they can do some good. The population of the US is growing and we are loosing access to lands at an ever increasing rate. Instead of bickering internally we need to focus those energies to do some good for the future of our sport. Where do we want to be as a sport in 20 years?
