    I absolutely agree. The purpose of my becoming suddenly so vocal in this particular issue is that rider apathy is also to blame. I was also disinterested in the politics, "Just want ride my horse" But all the members need to take more notice, and voice their likes and dislikes. I think if the voter turn out was better, and there was more discussion, and involvement by the members these big uproars and such hard feelings would not happen. Annie G.

     
    I think it is time to interject that these directors & people who are making
    the decisions were not born into the job, nor appointed for life. They were
    put in those positions by the riders in their region. (Or membership at
    large.) If you don't like the job they're doing, vote them out. If you don't
    like a ride manager's rides, don't support them. But be prepared to do the
    job yourself, or find someone you approve of to do it.
