requirements for competition Well, starting
in 2006 every 7 year old that trys or wants to compete at a PAC or WEC or other
championship level FEI ride will need to have finished a 100 in 13.20
hours. >>
This, imo, is a bad new rule. We (the US) have lobbied hard against
it, because it doesn't make sense when applied to our rides, in difficult
or mountainous terrain. I'm headed to Malaysia (!!!!!!) next week to ride, and
they are also concerned about the new COC rule - it's just about impossible to
do a 13:20 ride in the tropics. Kim - I totally agree with you, and this is the
first major deviation between AERC and FEI rules that I'm aware of. It only
applies to Championship level ride qualifications, but still - it does not make
sense to make this blanket rule apply to all rides, in all
Nations.
