[RC] refusing entry - k s swigartDiane T said: RM's can't just "publish an additional ride rule 24 hours in advance". The only references in the AERC rules to changes "24 hours prior to ride start" are respecting veterinary parameters. This is not true. In the first paragraph of the AERC's rules is states: "...Additional measures may be taken by any ride to provide greater safety for equine and rider. However, except in the even of emergency, these additional measures must be explanined to the competitors and made available to them in written form at the pre-ride meeting." It doesn't say "veterinary parameters" but rather those to provide "greater safety for equine and rider." Although, it is my understanding that rides are also allowed to impose additional rules that are required by property owners/managers. Thus, "no dogs allowed" "you have to clean your campsite" "you must feed weed-free hay" "no smoking allowed" etc. are also permitted. None of these rules is in the AERC rule book, and it would be difficult to argue that the reason for them is to provide greater safety for equine and rider, but ride managers are still allowed to impose them. kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
