  This will be my last comment on the subject of the cost of endurance 
riding. I am not being cavalier about the differences in people's 
incomes. I am simply saying that after an entire day in the swimming 
pool, as I climb out, drenched from head to toe, I'm not concerned about 
getting hit by a few raindrops. Anyone, and I don't care how much they 
are budgeting, has to spend thousands just to play in this sport. Some 
spend more thousands than others, agreed. But I wonder if as much 
disgruntlement is directed openly at hay suppliers, tack vendors, 
insurance salespeople, farriers, truck and trailer dealers, and feed 
stores as the AERC for the costs of participation. I bet not.
   I look forward to seeing you all at the convention. It is a time to 
get re-centered, celebrate the accomplishments of the last season, get 
excited about the possibilities of the next, and honor what we receive 
from our horses and the great outdoors they transport us through.
