A rated event for ONE horse is about $300 or more. Plus gas for a almost three hour drive, plus hotel if you stay for all four days. GAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Money is a need with horses, but if your like me and you have limited funding its hard. But horses are totally worth it.
I've been perfectly happy showing unrecognized where a 1 day event at a recognized course is about $100. Even if you get a hotel it's just for one day and all the fences are exactly the same. Great for someone on a budget.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I did last year to save up, they are really a good experience.
