Re: [RC] Rule Change-FEI - kimfuessBefore this FEI thread gets a life of its own, I want to make it clear that I would absolutely not be supporting this proposed change if I thought the primary purpose was to over rule AERC rules and impliment FEI rules. For those who have read this forum for any legnth of time, you know my strong position on having FEI rules and protocols superceed AERC rules at AERC events.I realize that the majority that have responded to this proposal do not want the change. Even if I don't agree as an individual, as a board member I want to hear all points of view. I am sure that this was the reason that in the article Laura wrote for EN she encouraged member input. I have posted more then once that I realize that logistic issues would need to be resolved before this could go forward. I also agree that there are some very legitimate concerns that members have posted that should be addressed. But I also know that the veterinary committee, which is made up of "ride vets", who are out at our rides observing, vetting, and treating our horses during competition, are recommending and supporting this change. Do you really believe that this committee is supporting this proposal because they want FEI rules to superceed AERC rules?? Why muddy the discussion with the FEI thread when there really are some legitimate concerns that should be addressed?

Very few US riders give a fig about international competition. Why should international competition dictate how AERC runs rides for the rest of the riders. If a handful of riders want to compete internationally, can't they compete on that level within the rules for the rest of the riders? Can't they aspire to having their horses pulse down within 30 minutes, or whatever is the rule that is being proposed, without impacting the rest of the riders? This has been hashed back and forth for a couple of days or so, so much that I've rather lost track of what IS being proposed. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
