If we don't like the USIHC, why would we join them? I joined to try to make a difference, but the organization is sort of "owned" by a few people, who have their focus and nothing is going to change that. I really don't want to give my money to have it spent on an area to which I am opposed, and that is anything to do with mechanical gaits. We are making much more of an impact here, with our focus on education in multiple areas such as breeding, conformation, gaits, saddle fit, etc. Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
