[RC] GitRDone_ExcellentRideMangement_AERC&FEI - Cynthia LeDoux-BloomDear Kassandra et al., I hope that everyone one knows about and sincerely appreciates the monumentous effort that you, your family, and your finances expedended on the AERC Nationals +FEI event this Sept. 2009. It was such an AWESOME event! You all deserve an excellence award! However, I know this was not the point of your post- which was, walk in the shoes of true working stiffs trying to maintain and evolve this sport. The LeDoux-Bloom's are not FEI wannabees- our daughter has aspirations of being an FEI vet, so she thought it be a good thing to do it (USEF FEI Young Riders) before trying to be it (DVM FEI)- Looking back, me the momma-crew slave, learned so much about equine physiology, conditioning, strategy, you name it- It was an awesome experience, sometimes a wee intimidating even or this marine/fish scientist nerd- Bottomline: This sport is DIVERSE. One can ride at whatever level and distance they want and be repected and respectful- plus hopefully respectful of others goals and aspirations. I hope that rides are affordable- I hope FEI becomes more afforable- I have hope that this awesome sport continues its diversity and is respectful to other aspects and inspirations than our own. -Cyn =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
