I’m curious too. The only ride cards we keep are the pulls because
they are needed for the vet report. After that, I’ve always sent the card to
whomever asked for it back.

I'm
not commenting on anything to do with FEI.
But
I have a question that I would like to ask you and Becky, and any other fellow
RMs. I have officially been an RM for 4 years now and have been asst RM/Ride
Sec for my mother's rides since I was 12yo so I'm not new to management and
AERC's paperwork.
What
information do you need from the rider cards (besides pull codes) that has to
be put in your ride results for AERC? This is an honest question.
When
I fill out my AERC forms all I have to have is my master registration sheet and
my timer sheet. I give the rider cards back at awards because I don't need them
for anything and it does save me mailing them out later.
I'm
just curious, because I have heard several RMs say they have to have them and
just as many that don't and I was just wondering what the difference was.
The rider cards are the property of the ride management. They are our
records and we use to to complete our forms. Riders should not expect to get
the cards back. IN 30+ years of competing at every level I have never expected
my card back. I would suggest this person manage a ride to see the
amount of paperwork and the need for the cards to complete it.
As
far as FEI, usually most people don't understand how it works w/ AERC
until they have done it. Often an explanation is all it takes, or maybe
not....
