 current motto.  I took this RC discussion as more of a game than an 
 expression of dissatisfaction.  If there is, let us hear from you.  However, 
 a motto is a form of identification >>

It is a game created by TI, or a reaction to something he said.  I don't 
think anyone really wants or expects AERC to change it's motto; it's just 
fine as it is IMHO.  To finish a real endurance ride of 50 or more miles 
really makes you and, more importantly, your horse both winners.  I don't 
think TI even rides horses, and if he does, he certainly has not even done a 
ten mile training ride.  Ten bucks says he doesn't like to camp out either.  
(Don't flame me here TI unless I'm wrong; I do like your posts)

But what is interesting is that this former racetrack expert has taken a keen 
interest in our sport.  He is pumping us for information about endurance, in 
his own style, and we are giving it to him freely.  It may be the lure of big 
money that has TI looking our way, but I find it very interesting and will 
follow his progress over there in Saudi.  

Let him get started and see what he does with it before we let him try and 
change the AERC motto.  TI, the master puppeteer, is pulling your strings 
here and alot of ya seem to be dancing to his beat.

cya,
Howard
