With the cozy AERC FEI arrangement of AERC allowing cosanctioning of its 
rides many of the fixed cost of a ride are paid for by a much larger set 
of riders than if the FEI ride had to pick up all the fixed cost. While 
one cannot say that subsidize the FEI ride - they do make it less 
expensive for the FEI ride to run. Since the ride manager is the one 
responsible for setting the cost no one will know if there is an 
implicit subsidy or not. But the bottom line is the ride fees for a FEI 
100 mile ride in the US with 20 entries would be a lot more expensive 
than one that is run at an AERC ride with 100 riders in the AERC ride.

In that respect the AERC is supporting the FEI/USEF. Personally I'm so 
fed up with the entire FEI travesty. IMO it's time for the AERC to pull 
the plug and step aside and allow the USEF to run their own rides if FEI 
rides are desired in the US.
