FEI is located in Switzerland, which is in Europe. They
probably have meetings that only the locals attend. Perhaps, its time for
the USA Representive to visit them and address the issues that seem to be taking
them to a crisis. The only WEC i know of that had a challenging trail was
in Ft. Royal, Va. in 1988. Otherwise they have been somewhat flat and
allowing for more speed and less varied terrain and spectator friendly.
They also dropped the weight to allow more advantage to speed This has not
happened overnight, but thru years of lobbying this viewpoint. When and
who was the last American to entertain 'Speed Kills' to them? The Vets in
the USA are some of the best in the world and their viewpoints should be
shared. For a while i found FEI Fun. Maybe because its a World
Thing. But the path of flat races and dying horses will get them nothing
but animal rights activists after them because they even make a stink about
chasing foxes, much less killing horses.... tom
