Re: RC: Osceola FEI l00/ FL: fees:

[Linda Cowles <kadence@ix.netcom.com>]

I resent the "Get real"! attitude!  $100 is very reasonable for a 100
mile ride, and as a rider who won't do FEI level riding that's all I care
about.

You posted $200 for a no-frills 100 mile ride, and didn't elaborate that
it was for the FEI division.

You get flack about it? Next time be more specific. Don't lay an attitude
on me. I'm not clairvoyant.
