Is it the correct age - it may be a little low NATRC has a 10 year old 
and at least one state 4H has 9 years old for the equestrian program as 
the min - but 8 has worked for us.  As far as the AERC I'm not going to 
address it as specific age since the argument becomes very emotional 
very fast and when emotion is involved - logic suffers. First there has 
to be a consensus  that a min age is in the best interest of the AERC.

Yes, building a consensus is an important step.  But we already have a good
degree of consensus (that isn't apparent from the "heat" on the list).  The AERC
Membership Survey last year showed that a majority of respondents favored a
minimum age for riders, something the opponents here never acknowledge.
