Beginning with
the September
2000 issue, the AMEA News here is published in Adobe Acrobat PDF format
as well as in the
traditional text format. That means you can download and print out an
exact duplicate of
the "hard copy" of the AMEA News, complete with pictures and
graphics.
Beginning with the Summer 2003 issue, the AMEA/SRF
News is
available only in PDF format.
Instructions For Viewing Adobe Acrobat PDF Files
If you have never downloaded PDF files before, in order to do so you must first download a FREE copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader and follow the instructions for installation. We recommend that you upgrade to the Adobe Acrobat Reader version 5.05 if you have an older version. Once you have downloaded and installed the reader, you can return to this site to download the AMEA News. It is inconvenient to have to download a reader, but worth it; besides, you have to do it only once. Downloading a PDF file takes some time because of the formatting involved. It also takes some time to print out a downloaded file on paper. But, the wait is worth it because the result is nice.
When Can My Child Ride a Horse? A useful brochure in PDF form from the AMEA/SRF. Permission to reprint and distribute is given.
