Re: [RC] [RC] FEI Ride aka Masters Series

As far as AERC is concerned is Canada a "foreign country," since the AERC includes Canada?

An interesting aspect of this predicament is that AERC Rules
allow the participants to get credit for the ride
non-the-less if you take the following rule at base value;
8.4  Career mileage credit only for AERC members and equines
who participate in FEI rides or endurance rides in a foreign
country at least 50 miles long and sanctioned by an AERC
recognized organization.

The ride will be FEI sanctioned, in a foreign country and of
a distance that is approved by the AERC. There is no place
in the AERC Rules and Regulations rescinding overall
sanctioning if a non-sanctioned event is held in conjunction
with an AERC Event.

While I deplore the inclusion of the Master Series, the
financial boost from the sponsor does have a great
influence.

As for <<<FEI not being able to sanction a ride unless it
was AERC sanctioned?>>>>In Canada the FEI deals with
Canadians not Americans. So in th
at instance the AERC has no
influence.

I have a question.  According to AERC rules, can a separate
unsanctioned 75
mile ride be run in conjunction with an AERC sanctioned
event?  I thought
that you couldn't do that? Also, wasn't there something
about FEI not being
able to sanction a ride unless it was AERC sanctioned?  k

The FEI ride will be held on June 29th. It is part of the

UAE sponsored

Endurance Masters Series. This series has a very large

purse to overall

winners in each region.  I realize this is a very

controversial topic but

I
wanted all international or potential international riders

to be aware

that
this is a qualifier for PAC or Worlds. The latest FEI

criteria is that a

horse has to have done a Star 2 or 3 FEI ride at 12 km/h.

This ride is a

Star 2 and is 120 Km (75 miles). A star 3 is 160 Km (100

miles). It is a

lot easier to do a Star 2 at 12 k/h than a Star 3. It is a

great

opportunity to get your FEI qualifier. AERC seems to be

very opposed to

this series of rides and has refused to sanction this

distance so it is

not
an AERC ride. I have also been refused advertising in a few

endurance

publications. So it will not be advertised in any other

form than this.

I do not want to start any great debate about this series

of rides I just

want to make all riders aware of this opportunity to get

your FEI

qualifier. Please contact Myna Cryderman by email

by phone 204 - 534-2390 for further details.
