RE: EuroEnduro: Horse & Hound - Endurance Qualifications



Thanks for posting this.  It will be interesting to see what the
actual qualifications are for the star system and to see if any
U.S. ride managers will want to "star" their events.  Does anyone
know if AERC International had any input on this decision?

It looks like the intent is good, but how it's going to translate
into reality.... or what impact it really will have with U.S.
competing at the international level.
