Gypsy Gal, I'm sure your intentions here are honorable. And I want to thank you for starting this thread. It is very important that ALL horse owners start looking deeper into this "Political" topic! A Region 6 member sent me a link to this thread and I would like to add this to your post: #1...

I am surprised here also! Talk about "biting the hand that feeds you"......... If this does not get edited before you see it: Mary Lou, It seems as though you are condoning the same things here that some of us are so concerned about happening in AMHA. Why would just asking, why is the CARE...

The way I heard it (and I'm not sure if our directors are even sure what has been done) was that the part about protesting "anytime" was not going to be allowed and that the horse had to be protested before entering the ring (the old rule). My concerns here are: First; The BOD or the EC has...

Diane, You asked a question of me in your quoted reply.........I was attempting to answer that question in my reply above. I have a question for you. I bolded a line above in your quote. I have read our rule book many times, there are many rules but "the enforcement of rules" does not seem to...

Diane I took your first reply to me in this thread as an attack, if I was wrong then I apologize. This reply is taking the context of Mona's question/statement and my reply a bit out of context. The point Mona was making was that lawsuits cost AMHA money and the point I was inferring was that...

Saturday or Sunday..............I confused the days (believe me I got very little sleep driving 2 hours each way every day to the meeting). Mona? You seem very dismissive (a thank you for attempting to help our cause would seem more appropriate) and almost combative over the afore mentioned...

Mona First; Although AMHA has been sued you have overlooked an important fact: The insurance company settled for an "undisclosed amount" for AMHA and with the approval of the EC. AMHA did not pay assocation funds to the plaintiff(s). Second; As one who knows how rule changes can and are...

Thank you, Bingo, LisaF, KayKay and the others! I DO have an agenda as I have said before; When I married Lisa (7 yrs. ago) we decided to throw all our eggs into the basket we all know as AMHA. The things that are going on (rule violations, infighting, lack of direction, etc.) affect us...

Mcbunz I have never met you and only know of you from what little I have seen you type here, your name, age and location are also not readily available. You might seem more "freindly" to me if I knew more about you and please take the time to email me if you are truly interested in what I am...

Professionals.............. ie; anyone who derives income from AMHA like trainers, breeders, judges, farriers, office employees, eqine dentists..................... Mcbunz My wife is a judge and a darn fair, unbiased well respected one who does not play into the politics and shenanigans that...

Carol Please don't read me as antagonistic....... I was referring to the post I made last night. I did not hear back from you regarding my PM and thought that since you did not respond I would ask the other members of CARE here on the forum. It seems that because I didn't make a report here...

LisaF Your reply here is spot on! A Grievance committee would put some "fear" (for lack of better terms) into doing the right thing. It needs to be very carefully crafted so it cannot be coerced. This would mean members from all aspects of our industry (professionals, amateurs, politicals) and...

Diane I am sorry for "inciting" you (and sorry if you think my apology is "back pedaling ). As for "campaining", I don't know a single person on this forum from Texas who hasn't already formed an opinion about me. In fact I'm pretty sure there aren'y many from Texas on here. The rest can't...

You are absolutely right! This was the June meeting and it was the BOD that elected Mike the first time! I had confused those two meetings.............

LisaF A few answers (as opinions) and more to follow! There is no plan. There is no continuity and very little communication. All of the committees are supposed to be coordinating their efforts through the HUB committee. This is not and has not happened for years. We don't follow the bylaws...
