In reality anyone that wanted to monitor ride camp can easily do that. 
No one here has to help them out. All it takes is some grievous act to 
break the radar screen, some activist to promote a "remedy" for that act 
on the local or state level and bingo - that will impact all of us. Just 
think what it would mean if some state law was pushed through regulating 
"endurance riding" because it presented undue risk to horses and it was 
an unregulated activity. Could that happen - I think it could if the 
AERC doesn't become more proactive in how it approaches equine welfare 
in general as incidents such as happened at Mariposa in specific. Once 
the camel has a nose under the tent - it's too late.

It would bite us all.
