Why do people who witness rules violations ignore them?  People complain
about someone getting away with breaking a rule but they have a schoolyard
mentality that they cant 'tattle'.  I have news for you all -AERC officials
cant be everywhere.  Ride managers have plenty on our plates I assure 
you.  Responsibilty for keeping our rules rests on each member.
Personally if I sold someone a young horse and they invited early
lameness for it by pushing it into competition before it was of age, I'd
nail them.  Guess its obvious that I'm a horse owner not a horse seller.
