Re: [RC] AERC changing to FEI like rules?? - Katrina Mosshammer
I don't see how AERC could have NO CHOICE about
their rules. Good choices or bad choices, yes, but not NO choice. It is our
organization we create/edit/set the rules ourselves.
So.............I was at a ride
last wknd and was told that AERC is changing it's rules to mimic the FEI's it
had to, we had not choice etc...... when I patiently tried to explain to this
person that they may have spent a lot of time in this sport but I really did not
think he had a handle on just who exactly AERC members as a whole were and as a
whole were not too interested in FEI and really , rather an independent
lot and I just could not see rules like " no whistling to get your horse to pee"
(or a plethora of other rules he was mentioning) happening, he gave me a
withering,condescending look ( I am only now recovering) and smugly told me that
although he "wished what I said was true" I just did not get it and FEI and AERC
were going the same way, AERC had no choice.. Anyway I still don't give the
whole idea much credence but has anyone else heard/read of changes in
AERC's rule to indicate a move towards FEI type rules???? Really as far as
I am concerned an organization that cannot even get its members to wear helmets
is not going to have much chance with FEI type laws!!!lol lol :-)
