Just to add my oppinion to the list. Having the complete ride 
results available is a very good thing. We need to have the 
ability to check our records since they already keeping them 
at AERC.  If you want to sell, buy a horse or compete at the 
international level or just check to see if you are close to a 
milage goal, you call up AERC and ask for the records. It used 
to be a surprise weather your results were recorded accurtatly 
or not. You have 30 days to check the record and make 
corrections.  Pull reasons were recorded in AERC records 
but not printed in EN. So you had no way of checking and 
correcting these records. After that they do not change 
results. I will give a little example. We were pulled for OT
from our (mine and Coppers) first 100 miler and I had the vet 
check my horse just becuase I am somewhat anal and over protective 
of my boy. He had galloped the past 5 miles and I do mean dead gallop
at 3:30 in the morning after being out there since 4:30 am the 
previous day when I had started warming him up. We had already 
been pulled when I asked for a curtesy check.  The veterinarian 
(a very poor example and one who will never be invited back to that 
ride according to ride mgmt) wrote lame on my ride card and did 
not look at my horse. Said he was fine get in the trailer. I 
found out later about the lame written on my ride card. Several
years later and much more experienced I decide to try international 
competition.  One of the requests on the application is the horses 
ride history. So I send to AERC for Coppers records and low and 
behold here is a lameness pull for my horse. It was past time to
be able to correct it and it is still there for anyone to check. 
And yes now its a big deal to me. Being able to make corrections 
to important documents is absolutely essential. At that time there 
was no way to check the horses records. This is a step in the 
right direction. Val n Copper
