I hope more organizations will also make their feelings known and question/condemn anyone using Rollkur. If there is enough world wide reaction maybe the FEI will consider banning hyperflexion once and for all and start programs to educate riders properly. Maybe they should all be made to sit and watch the old master ride for hours until they 'get it'.

Let's hope that the push continues and someone really makes some forward progress on this issue. This could be huge - and have a rippling effect to questionable practices in other disciplines.
