AERC International is the arm of the American Endurance Ride Conference charged with selecting and fielding teams for FEI sanctioned international competitions. Technically a committee within AERC, AERC International carries a special membership provision for those who wish to join. International members vote for representatives from their FEI recognized zones within the United States (East, Central, Mountain, Northwest, and Southwest zones). These representatives see that positions are filled and duties are carried out leading to the fielding of national teams for off-continent competitions, and zone teams for on-continent competitions.
