I'm not surprised that the solution to the hyperfexion debate is found in the FEI's own rulebook. Yes, why don't they just enforce what is already written? No doubt that the exaggeration of the horse depicted in art forms, --idealizing the horse in unrealistic ways, contributes to the problem of these training and competition trends in all disciplines and breed associations, not just the FEI.
A very interesting debate none the less.
Raised in suburbia, I've always had the fever to "Go West," but here I am still in Ohio... I did get some horses though! Be prepared to find entries with long athropomorphic ramblings about what my horses are doing and thinking, and the crazy things they have me doing to keep them in my life--Oh yeah, there's some other junk here too.
