RE: [RC] re: dual sanctioning discussion - Jim HollandTruman, let's use an example here, and I'm picking on Wesley Crowe because I "think" he's a friend of mine! <grin> Suppose 100 riders showed up at the Million Pines 50 ride. Eight (8) of those (think 8%) went to Wesley and said: "Wes, we would like to join a little club that requires that we complete a 50 mile ride in 4 hours, all camp together, we can't feed our horses in the Vet/P&R line, we need an exit CRI, and we can't crew out of our trailers. (This is a short list, of course) We would like for you to require that all the other riders in your ride comply with this criteria as well. We have with us an "official" who will monitor the ride for us to be sure everyone complies." What do you think Wes would say? What do you think would be the response of the riders if he agreed? They do still have "lynching" in the Deep South, right? Basically, this is what FEI is doing to our rides. Just MHO. :) Jim, Sun of Dimanche+, and Mahada Magic -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cindy Collins Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 7:52 PM To: Truman Prevatt Cc: StephTeeter; Dabney Finch; ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [RC] re: dual sanctioning discussion Truman Prevatt <tprevatt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> on Thursday, March 10, 2005 at 5:15 PM +0000 wrote: But no matter what the FEI officials demand or talk ride managers into implemented - it should only be implemented on the riders that are in the FEI event.

There are two rides at a cosanctioned ride - the FEI riders and the AERC only riders. The FEI officials have no status over the AERC riders - but somehow they normally have an impact. Truman That is true. I was in the open AERC 100 miler and Dorothy Sue was in the open AERC 50 miler. However, our horses were not allowed back to our trailers. Thanks for all the comments. I keep thinking somehow we'll make a difference.
