I never understood AERC and the 3 weight classes when you don't even have to be on the horse at all if you are a good runner????

Oh... that's easy. The weight divisions (4 of them actually) are for the RIDERS not the horses. Heavier riders who did a good job conditioning and riding their good horses hardly ever won because they were usually beaten by some skinny, young woman. So, to give these riders a crack at national awards, they instituted weight divisions.
