    RE: [RC] [RC] FEI Ride aka Masters Series - Bob Morris


    Truman:
     
    The FEI does not recognize the AERC as a sanctioning body. They only work with the National Federations. In the USA the National Federation, USA-E recognizes the AERC and so states it in their rules. I do not believe that the Canadian Federation has any affiliation with the AERC. At least I have never seen such published. Perhaps our neighbors to the North can confirm this fact. How they work with FEI is their business and has no bearing on AERC except in the context of Rule 8.4 where the Great Northern Connection 75 would be FEI rides or endurance rides in a foreign country at least 50 miles long and sanctioned by an AERC recognized organization. I believe the AERC does recognize the FEI as a sanctioning organization though there has never been a statement to that effect.

    My question is, "is or is not Canada come under the AERC unbrella?" If Canada does come under the AERC, then as far as the AERC is concerned does Canada fit the definition of "foreign country" in this rule?  Yes Canadians carry Canadian passports - not US passports. On the other hand the AERC states that they are the "sanctioning body for endurance in the US and Canada."  In this case I do not read rule 8.4 to include Canada as a "foreign country,"  since it is within the perview of the AERC. I would read the defineition of "foreign country" to  all countries other than the US and Canada (the two countires covered by the AERC). Would the AERC recogonize a non sanctioned (even if somehow it managed to get FEI sanctioning) ride if it were run in the US?

    I am not sure I see it back and white here.

    Pan Am was not run in conjuction with an AERC ride and the Pan Am did not request AERC sanctioning and denied such sanctioning.

    That's where I see the difference.

    Truman - mileage (but no points) is awarded to riders who complete the Pan Americans (in Canada, Vermont, etc). - why would this be different?
