Hi Linda,

Maybe I'm still suffering from the lack of oxygen I suffered at your ride last
summer, but your concern that AERC might not be involved with $ rides is one of
the reasons that I don't want to see a rule change that would outlaw them. My
hope is that if they happen they will be regulated by an organization that has
experience in promoting the welfare of the horse. Also, as I mentioned in my
response to Brad's questions on the subject, I don't think that there are
dozens of corporations out there just waiting to throw money at the sport. I
will be surprized if sponsorship becomes available for more than a handful in
the next few years. However, we do agree completely on not wanting to see
rides put on by 'outlaw' organizations.
