Re: [RC] politics, dog ticks, and every other kind of ticks.... - Laney Humphrey

I guess none of us picked up on your assumption that there were qualifying requirements for multi-days. There aren't any official ones. You just enter and go. Some multi-day rides offer LDs as well as 50s and it is never a requirement that you ride all the days. The flexibility to ride as much as one wants is one of the appeals.
FEI rides are usually sanctioned by the AERC but are also governed by FEI rules. Riders who ride under FEI rules are aiming at competing on the international level. Some rides are run under both AERC and FEI rules so some riders ride under FEI rules and some under just AERC regulations.
Now it's probably as clear as mud! Most riders start by riding AERC 50s. Some horses have the capacity to continue, day after day and those horses do well in multi-day rides. Some horses have the capacity to do well at 24 hour/100 mile rides. If the rider is inclined to attempt to be competitive at the international level, they start competing in FEI rides.
Hope this helps!

Sorry I'm being dense. I realize mulit means just that and I have read of
rides that are done over several days. I presume it is because your qualify
for more than just a 100 miles. So in a way I do understand it, I think it
is one of those things you need to experience. I do hope to get that
opportunity.

Anybody else want to answer this?? What's the difference, and why multidays
are more pleasant?

Some. Why do you prefer multi day?

Steph
I am very new to all this. Could you, or someone, explain the differences
in the FEI and multi day rides?
Jo Ann


FEI rides are 'International' rides, sanctioned by the FEI
(www.horsesport.org) in order to provide a fair and consistent venue for
Endurance riding around the world. Regardless of the host nation, all FEI
Endurance rides are conducted by the same rules.
Multi-day rides are just a variation (multiple days instead of one day) of
the 'National' rides held here in the US. Sanctioned by AERC (www.aerc.org)
to provide a fair and consistent venue for all Endurance events held in the
US. Each country has their own version of a National organization and
sanctioning body.
Does that help?
