Yes Howard, you are very
correct the International members are a very small percentage (actually
in 2002 they were 8%) of AERC members. They are also a very small percentage
compared to the Limited Distance Riders. Why they get more attention is
because they have a positive attitude, believing they are more important,
and thus demanding it. The LD riders need to adopt this attitude and to
start thinking positive.In
2001 there were 154,315 miles ridden in LD competition. Perhaps someone
has knowledge of how many miles were ridden by FEI competitors in FEI rides
in the US? Bet it will be no where near this figure.You
are getting to be a good spokes person for them Howard, keep it up. Bob Bob
