That does not make sense. What specifically do you object to. We run all our rides with a pulse box and it is much faster and smoother............mb

The requirements that aren't AERC rules.

Which specific FEI rules regarding the pulse box don't you want to
abide by?

Most rides I attend use a pulse box too. My issue would be
having to abide by the FEI rules of a pulse box, which was Sandy's
point.

I am associated with rides that always use the pulse box.
It is a more efficient way to run a vet check. It also keeps your
place and no one can barge in ahead of you to get a pulse. As far as
being pushed through and not allowed to go eat, drink, whatever, that is
something that needs to be addressed with the individual ride
management. You are allowed to enter the pulse box whenever you feel
your horse is down. There is no requirement to enter it when someone
else tells you to. It is just like AERC regular rides.....you go when
you know your horse is ready. If you don't meet criteria, then you
have to start over and go through again. That is also like the
ordinary pulse check.

My feeling is to not be overly concerned
about this ride as setting a precedent for all AERC rides. After all, as it
has been stated here, the AERC doesn't put on rides, ride managers do. If a
RM wants to put on a $600 AERC/FEI ride, they can knock their lights out and
cross their fingers for attendance of regular AERC riders. This is where the
free market comes in - most of us AERC riders won't go [and for those that
do, hey, it's AERC sanctioned, not just FEI]. I don't believe these
types of rides will proliferate when most RMs realize it's not a value
proposition that will bring in enough riders to break even no matter
how high they raise fees. Most of them know this
already.
If I did choose to go to a dual sanctioned
ride and ended up being treated as Sandy was [with the FEI box], I'd vote
with my feet and tell my friends/associates why. Negative word of mouth
reaches 11x more people than positive word of mouth. Let the market
decide.

Read what I said - I said - IF MORE RIDES - not new rides -
went this way, a huge number of us are priced right out of the market. By
virtue of the PRICE of this KIND of ride - nothing to do with offering NEW
rides wherever. The point that Kat misses is that when existing rides OR
venues (since one of the other two GRD rides is in fact an FEI sanctioned
ride) turn over "operations as it were to the needs of FEI, the
ride/venue/event is somewhat less attractive to "AERC ONLY" (sorry - =
