Congratulations on a good move. Except, why do you require breeching on all 
turnouts. That's not the case with ADS rules. You won't see many breechings in 
pairs and four-in-hands at World Championships ( and I mean FEI World 
Championships, not breed show "Worlds") .  So maybe even you folks need to be a 
bit 
more open minded?
