FEI was established long before the USA ever thought of endurance.  It is the 
only international player because it's been there so long there's no changing 
or going back now.  And you're right about dress code, but only for FEI 
events.  AERC events don't have a dress code, and while I believe in helmets 
wholeheartedly, I also believe in an individual's right to choose for 
himself.  That's pretty primitive.....
