Hi Richard,

Thank you for correcting my mistaken impressions.  To be sure I understand:

 1) Most French rides are *not* FEI sanctioned,
 2) There is a French equivalent of the North American AERC,
 3) Most French rides are sanctioned by this French equivalent,
 4) French rides that are not FEI have an atmosphere very similar to
    AERC rides with most riders focusing on enjoying the ride and their
    horses.
 5) Many but nowhere near "most" French riders are "professional".

I apologize for reiterating a straw man.  I really thought that almost 
all the European rides were FEI rides.  Again, thank you for clearing up 
this misconception.

Regards, Diane
