With the passage of time and much reflection
of thought, this correspondance has come gradually, and not without much
self-inflection of a 'Has-been' who has been on 3 FEI Teams (66 2/3%
completion), support at the first WEC, been the Chef d'Cook at 4 PAC's, Catered
the WEC in Ft. Royal, on the first USET Active Riders Committee, and seen the
current 'Sport' of Endurance at the FEI Level evolve to its current
state.
My position is simple.
It is time for the FEI Level of Competition to
distance itself from the AERC and go under the umbrella of the USET and 'Go Its
Own Way'. This current situation of drugs and money won't 'Go Away', so
its time for the AERC to do such, if in my mind it will ever salvage its intent
and purity, and dissolve AERC International.
FEI and AERC may be cousins, but not
Brothers.
My Question to you all is... What would
Wendall Do?
