RE: [RC] [AERC-Members] Updated AERC BoD Midyear meeting Agenda - Bob MorrisThe following grant proposals present a questionable action: The following proposals are being presented to the BOD for approval at this time. Each proposal will be voted on separately. 1) Pen State/Dr. Durando. Ranked #1 and graded A. Good value and very possibly could identify horses that maybe should not be involved in our sport. We recommend funding this one NOW. Notice Meg Sleeper is part of the study. 2) Oklahoma/McKenzie. Ranked #2 and graded B+. fair to Good value and certainly important in endurance. Could just possibly be a precursor to our kidney failures? Top people and also endurance people. We recommend funding this one as well. 3) Kansas/Poole & Erickson. Ranked #3 and graded B. Not sure EIPH is a concern in endurance and too commercially involved. I asked if the makers of the strip would be interested in splitting and got a NO. We do not recommend this one be funded. 4) VA/Kronfield. Ranked #4 and graded A-. You have the original and a revised one I got today. This is ongoing research and wants help. They are offering to give us articles etc. if we send them money. We recommend partial funding at this time ($5,000 to $10,000). These grant proposals as stated presume full knowledge not available to the membership. Since the grant funds are a fairly considerable amount I believe that it is only fair that the membership be made aware of the details associated with these grants. For instance, taking #1 above; exactly what is of good value and could possibly identify horses that should not be involved in our sport? Are we looking to deny entrance to endurance competition certain horses with particular characteristics? And the #2 above; just what is of good value and certainly important in endurance? I have not experienced kidney failure and have not heard of any one else having such experience. Exactly what is going on that the AERC Board is voting on the expenditure of $45,000, the use of which has not been identified to the membership. I feel this type of action is contrary to the principles we look for from the AERC Directors.
