I used to belong to the USIHC -- was even on the board of directors for a couple of years in that organization. I haven't been a member for probably 8-ish years now. I don't have any incentive to be a member again. In contrast to that of the USIHC, I find the topics and focus of this list to be much more geared to where I am in my thinking / horsemanship, and what I am interested in regarding these horses. And, I don't have to send in dues every year either.. : ) The registry won't fall without my dues, as registry fees generate the bulk of funding for the organization, not dues. -- Renee Martin in Michigan
