IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HAVING THE 50
MILE ENDURANCE RIDE OFFERED AS AN FEI 1* YOU MUST PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING no later
than Friday, Mar. 6:
1- A minimum of 10 riders wishing to ride FEI to
forward a cheque for $165.00 cdn to the ride secretary Misha Green or to Fred
Buchanan. This fee is in addition to the $100.00 advertised on the Aprilfest
flyer. 2- We have been told that Endurance Canada will pay the Initial
fee required by the FEI - that is 300 Swiss francs or approximately $375
cdn. 3- OCTRA is sending one of our vets on an FEI training course Feb.
22-24. If successful, she also fills FEI rules requiring a "Foreign Vet" and
will reduce the costs by $450.
If both item 2 and item 3 become a
reality, then each of the 10 riders in item 1 would be reimbursed by
$75.00
For each FEI rider above 10, the riders in item 1 will be
reimbursed $1.50 to a maximum of $15.00.
The fees for all remaining
FEI riders above the 10 in item 1 will be $195.00 which includes all
fees.
If we do not have the riders and money required in item 1 by March
6, Aprilfest will be a regular endurance ride and will not be an FEI ride.
The same rider managers are also considering offering
their Oktoberfest endurance ride as an FEI sanctioned ride.
Requirements for this will be put out later in the season.
Please
refer to the OCTRA calendar for contact details and the ride flyer.
