I absolutely agree. The
purpose of my becoming suddenly so vocal in this particular issue is that rider
apathy is also to blame. I was also disinterested in the politics, "Just want
ride my horse" But all the members need to take more notice, and voice their
likes and dislikes. I think if the voter turn out was better, and there was more
discussion, and involvement by the members these big uproars and such hard
feelings would not happen. Annie G.
I
think it is time to interject that these directors & people who are making
the decisions were not born into the job, nor appointed for life. They
were
put in those positions by the riders in their region. (Or membership
at
large.) If you don't like the job they're doing, vote them out. If you
don't
like a ride manager's rides, don't support them. But be prepared to
do the
job yourself, or find someone you approve of to do it.
