Those interested in international don't need the AERC and I suspect many 
if not most AERC riders see international growing father and father away 
from te foundation values of the AERC riders. The FEI is in charge of 
international make no mistake about it. The USEF is in charge of 
international in the US make no mistake about it. It is very clear that 
the AERC has no input.  I joined AERC I in 1992 and was a member till 
last year. My limit was surpassed when they USEF announced 5 year old 
horses with 200 miles (no 100's required ) could nominate for the last 
PAN AM's with a 13:20 COC required to go.

The international folks don't need the AERC - the USEF could give too 
hoots and the FEI could care less. Those that want to ride international 
can do so without the AERC. AERC I was a good idea when it was formed - 
it's no longer a good idea. The baby has grow up and turned really ugly. 
Time to cut the cord.
