I would guess that I'm typical of a lot of Icelandic owners. I joined for a year, saw no benefit from my membership, and wasn't interested at all in the topics in the magazine, and I don't support the same things that the organization supports. Same here Karen -- I joined last year when I registered Dancer, but after learning more I did not renew. I can't see lending my financial support to a group that promotes a style of riding that, IMHO, is injurious to the horse. Wish we had the choice of an alternative group like FOSH is to the TWHBEA.
