LInda,
You have a
very selective memory. You went back and forth over whether you could
even file a protest and then lodged it against the AERC and not the
rider! We never lost your paperwork. Why you withdrew the
protest the second time after I spent time interviewing the vet and other
people involved, lord only knows. Your first check was returned, you
never sent a second one. If no check you supposedly sent was ever
deposited, you certainly never could have been harmed by the supposed
failure to return it.

No Sir...............I did send you a second
check with the second letter. I have a carbon copy of it along with
the receipts of the mailing. You wrote me and said you couldn't find
it anywhere when.....................after months and months of nothing, I did
finally decided to withdraw the protest. I could see it was going nowhere
because I did as you asked and made the subject of my protest the owner of the
horse............a non-member who would never be sanctioned or tracked in any
manner.
A protest for
nothing........just like Nashoula's life that was lost after suffering
for hours in camp............her life finally gone Sunday
afternoon....................the price paid for
sport..................
Wonder what the VC would come up with as a reason
for her death???? How about a first time horse and a first time
rider going too far too fast? How about a 50 mile race with only one
vet check at the halfway point - in the summer - in the high
desert?
And Steph................You don't know me and I
realize your first tendency will be to believe Mr Parke in this matter because
you know him - he is a big-name in AERC with all that goes along with
it. I have been civil. I was very patient for a very long
time..............and I did send a second check and my second check was
lost. This, I KNOW to be true.
