To Allison and Teddy;

First of all the subject should never have been brought up at a Board Meting
of the AERC. To me it is an insult to the integrity of the organization. To
even give thought to the fact that the AERC MIGHT want a foreign country to
fund its internal championships is unconscionable. The fact of making the
proposal is to me degrading.

Perhaps I am idealistically pro American! Perhaps it does not mean anything
to you for a foreign country representative to imply that your national
organization is incapable of proper performance in its chosen field. To me
it means that particular foreign country believes that the USA and the AERC
are incapable and thus they must save us for the benefit of all others.

If the AERC could not or chose not to sanction the Championships through the
FEI is of no concern of any foreign country!

Rather than get any more irate, at this time I will just say SEMPER FIDELIS

Bob Morris

If the UAE is willing to more than cover the cost
of holding an FEI ride in conjunction with the
AERC Nat'l Championship, I would like to know the
reasoning behind the BOD for turning this down.

Seems we can use all the money and publicity we
can get.  As I understand it, the UAE is wanting
to see endurance become an Olympic sport. This is
the way to get the ball rolling.

Why is it us Amerikans are so resistant?  SOME of
you out there may want to be big fishes in little
ponds, but why can't SOME of you be allowed to be
big fishes in the big pond?

What have we got to lose?  Two separate rides on
what I KNOW to be a very demanding course.  Do you
think the arabs REALLY have a chance of beating us
on our own turf (unless, of course, they lease the
best mountain horses around and listen to the
owners.)  So what if they do.

Wake up...."He who is not busy being born is busy
dying....."

There is room for us all.......
