a dilemna, I have to agree with Joe or Truman. Joe wins. I think
endurance rides do not have a negative impact on land. Also, the
wilderness rules are so strict that normal people cannot use the areas.
I'm a normal person. I can get to wilderness areas and so can you on
horseback. There is no issue with horses on Wilderness areas. Who the
Hell do you think maintains many of the trails on Wilderness areas -
the BCHA using horses and mules!
The problem the AERC has is the 1964 law which forbids competitive
events in Wilderness areas. Since the AERC has less an a snowball's
chance he Hell changing that - it's on their plate to define a format
that allows organized events - which satisfy the requirements of the
law. The other option the AERC has is to keep whining about it.
If you think 5000 endurance riders are going to change the law - good
luck with that and I have a bridge I would like to sell you. .
