Re: [RC] AERC and co-sanctioned FEI rides - Michael Maul

Comments in ***** below

> No funds that I know of go from AERC to FEI.
I think AERC pays USEF a fee for some form of organizational membership. That allows FEI to call AERC the discipline organization for endurance. FEI deals only with the National Federation (USEF). RMs as well only deal with their National Federation (not FEI). Fees etc. are paid to USEF not the FEI. USEF may pay something to FEI, but I don't know about that.


**** My statement above is correct that no fees go from AERC to FEI. What you are referring to is the discipline fee that AERC pays to the national organization USEF and is about $250 a year paid in May.

> In every co-sanctioned AERC and FEI ride that I know of, riders who wanted to enter the FEI ride had to enter the AERC ride first.

It is a non-truth that all entrants to a jointly sanctioned event must enter the AERC division. It is a common practice, but I could find no requirement to that end. It is possible for someone to only do the FEI portion of the ride unless the ride manager stipulates otherwise.


*******Actually as you should know well - at the 2007 NC ride - AERC *required* all FEI riders to enter the AERC ride before entering the FEI ride.

While it's not a rule in the rule book that you have to enter the AERC ride to enter the FEI ride - it's been made clear to ride managers who co-sanction that this must happen. I'm not aware of any case where a rider has ridden in an FEI ride w/o being entered in the AERC ride.
