RE: [RC] HWC - Jim HollandGee, Brucie....did I hurt your little feelings? Poor baby.... I sincerely hope Ridecamp members will console you make you feel better soon! I have been on this forum a long time, but I have never forwarded a private note to it. But, I guess everyone has a different "standard" of what is acceptable and ethical and what is not. That is why we are having this discussion on horse welfare to begin with, right? Actually, I don't mind. Thanks! I was simply trying to spare the more sensitive ears on this forum. It's my Southern upbringing conflicting with my Marine training, I guess. As to a discernable pattern, that's not the issue as you well know. Jim, Sun of Dimanche+, and Mahada Richard T. "Jim" Holland Three Creeks Farm 175 Hells Hollow Drive Blue Ridge, Ga 30513 (706) 258-2830 www.threecreeksarabians.com Callsign KI4BEN -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bruce Weary Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 8:24 PM To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] HWC Dear Jim-- Unfortunately, I am bound by my constituents and the responsibilities of my positions on the HWC, the Vet Committee, and the BOD, to NOT be cryptic in my communications, actions, or opinions, as you so obviously seem to be regarding your personal reasons for wanting to know every immediate detail regarding horse deaths. There is simply no convincing you by the Vet Committee, the HWC, the already published death reports ( or those yet to be made public), or personal communication that with few exceptions, there is as yet no discernible pattern of horsemanship or equine husbandry that can be credibly blamed (and thus new rules and forms of rider punishment created--per your demands) as avoidable causes of death in endurance horses. I don't know how to say it more clearly than that. :> However, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. In the interest of honoring your bellicose demands for outright transparency of all matters and discussion pertaining to horse deaths, I include below, for at least the Ridecamp portion of my constituency, your most recent email to me. I will not make comment on it. I trust in the intelligence of these people to decide if they side with you or somewhere else. Bruce Weary Bruce, You can publish all the bullshit and rebuttal you wish. The HWC is a joke and you and I both know that. My POST was factual and you and I both know that. I have no intention of responding to this nonsense post on the forums. I will continue to hold AERC to task and continue to keep the membership informed on AERC's abysmal failure to provide adequate protection for our horses and refusal to keep the membership informed on this issue in a timely manner. For example, if you haven't got the information you need in 16 months, I doubt you will ever get it. SURELY out of TEN horses, at least ONE would be ready to publish in 16 months? Do your job. In Marine Corps vernacular, "Shit or get off the pot". We used to have an old saying in IBM marketing school: "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit." You fall into the latter group. Regards, Jim =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
