I think I have said this before and I am aware that some will not agree but you will find it more difficult to change anything if you are shouting from the sidelines than if you are in it. FEIF will exist and any problems with it if you or the whole of the US and Uk withdrew from it. > > In the USA, the usual percentage I see cited for show riders is something > like 5% of the total riders.
