 would it end?  Perhaps the next requirement would be the use of a crupper
 or, heaven forbid, helmet.  By the way, I ride with a breastcollar, crupper
 and helmet, but it is by choice and not being able to make a choice as to
 what tack I could use would make me seriously consider if this is the sport
 for me.  I rode many miles without a breastcollar, crupper or helmet and
 made the decision to use them on my own.  Count me as a vote for no more
 rules. >>

I use a breast collar and/or crupper if the horse/saddle combination needs 
it; I use a helmet as a personal decision.  I am tired of the tendency to try 
to regulate everyone's lives.  Perhaps we should all look like the OSHA 
endurance rider.  If anyone has seen the comic OSHA cowboy, imagine what one 
could do with an OSHA endurance horse!!!
I agree with the quoted statement above.
