Re: [RC] riders set for 120km race - Steph Teeter

Ok, when was the last time you tried riding in a foreign country with foreign riders??? It is STILL fun! Do you guys really think that everybody except the AERC is out to run and trash their horses??? this is making me a little cranky. We just spent several weeks in UAE sending photos and stories of their version of the sport - this is endurance in the UAE - and very different from what folks are doing in Chile, or Australia, or Portugal, or most other places in the world. I think some of you are just griping about the 'good old days' because you're not really active in the sport any more.

there are some very valid concerns about the sport at the FEI level, but good grief, there is as much variety around the world in how the sport is done as their is variety in languages and cuisine!!

Assuming that big money has more power than the voices of AERC, just why do we have to play this game at all? Riding in foreign countries, riding with foreign riders, started out to be pleasant and a fun interaction with folks from other countries around the world. >>
