Would the athletes in the US wanting to go to the Olympics in 1980 in 
Moscow all have gotten together to decide to boycott the Moscow 
Olympics? Hell no, they would only consider their individual interest 
not the collective interest of the US or even their sports programs in 
the US. It took the President to announce a boycott of the Moscow 
Olympics by the US. The US send no team to the Moscow Olympics.

Similarly no individual is going to choose to boycott this FEI or any 
other FEI event because of individual interest. Clearly the AERC does 
not have the standing to demand a boycott of such an event, but if the 
membership feels strongly enough on this issue it could demand the AERC 
- after all the AERC does belong to the members - take a strong public 
stand on the direction that has led to two dead horses in Spain and now 
this.
