Ah..the art of cheating

[Trailrite@aol.com]

    Well, Ridecampers I just want to run this by some of you.  Question is; 
"Why do some riders feel that they are above the rules?"
    Just in the last few months I have encountered a couple of strange 
experiences of riders, lets say, bending some of the rules of our AERC.
    One of the first ones this year was a horse I sold that was ridden in a 
50 miler as a 4 yr. old.
    The second one was a person that was going to buy her way into an already 
filled up ride.  This was found out by a number of people that were trying to 
get into the ride and the rider backed out of the $500. offer that they were 
going to offer, just to get into the ride.
    The last one is a mistake this time, I'm sure, but this was experienced 
before a couple of years ago and it was brought to my mind today.  It started 
to make me wonder if this goes on more than we think.  The rider seems to 
have more than one horse that has the same name and same AERC number?  
Strange, isn't it?
    Just wondering???
