[RC] Something to help ride managers and the AERC office - Michael Maul

We provide AERC numbers for ourselves and our horses every time we enter a ride. The numbers we give though can create a problem for the ride manager.

Almost every horse and member registered after December 1, 1995 has an H preceding the horse number and an M preceding the member number.

Giving your number without the H or M can be a different horse or member. H12345 can be a different horse than 12345 and the same for a member.

Numbers for members and horses prior to Dec. 1, 1995 are often 4 digits or less and have no H or M.

There are a few exceptions because for a while members were allowed to choose their own numbers. I know of one member whose AERC number is her date of birth. Another rider chose 777777, 888888, and 121212 for horse numbers prior to 1996. The office doesn't allow that now.

You can always find your AERC number and your horses number online at

where you enter one word from the name in the box. Click on the correct link in the lower left frame when it displays.

If you don't use the full number, your ride manager may have trouble sending your results correctly to the office. You may end up being listed as riding a different horse than you actually rode.

Another common problem for ride managers is an illegible number.

So write or print your correct number for ride entries and make life a little easier for your ride managers and office.

Mike
