   As someone that is in only their 2nd year of aerc, I have brought in 
two riders  this year and  hve 3 others lined up for next year, assuming 
they follow through.
I would suggest one goal might be to find ways of  attracting new riders 
from avenues not traditionally from aerc/endurance traditional 
backgrounds.  In my case, and the case of all those I just mentioned, 
that would be gaited riders.  There sure arent many gaited riders doing 
50's let along Ld's in  my area and their sure are alot of gaited riders 
in the midwest.   I commonly here from the gaited riders "You do what 
with your horses?"   At rides I hear " Is that an arabian?"
I believe the gaited community is one tremendously untaped market and I 
would bet their are others.

Just a thought.
