Thanks for your input...you have helped me at least understand more of
whatAERC rules state. Perhaps if enough of us are upset or concerned about
the cash prizes the best approach would be Nutrimax and ride management..
They really need to know how most of us feel...AND, after I mull things over
for awhile...when I am involved in ANY dispute, I would much prefer to solve
a problem face to face as an adult rather than to have to resort to
"authority".
We are ALL VERY concerned and many quite adamant about cash prizes. Even if
someone does not plan to attend (like a CA rider), it should be known the
precident that is being set.
Pete Fields is a great guy and does have some very good concerns and ideas
for this sport, but I think you are right when you say his thinking is geared
to FEI which, as you say, already has controls in place to manage
competitions with cash awards.
My vote is still to keep cash awards AWAY from AERC rides.
