wow the things they come up with now....sounds cool-a very practical way to save money.... but would your horse have to registered and all that stuff??
Great idea for horse owners who can not afford to go to real shows, but would still get practice and experience.
Is this what the world is coming to???? Horse shows ONLINE! How horrible! Don't you enjoy the feeling of pride when you unload your horse from the hores trailer and everybody ooo's and ahhh's? How about the pride of winning a blue ribbon with the crowd cheering you on? Or the smell of fresh air and horse poop all around you. For me I enjoy actually going and bringing my horse to a show then uploading a video online!
Ive always wanted to compete for a show season with my horse, but we cant afford it. We can barely afford the upkeep of a horse and lessons alone. Yes, I think that everyone who competes loves the thrill of it, but not many of us can afford it, especially in the economy. I think this is a wonderful opportunity for those who have the talent, but not the money to consistently compete. I still want to compete in real shows, but Ill be lucky if I could do one or two a year, and even then I'll have to save up to do it. This is a great way to still get feedback on how you and your horse are doing competition wise, without having to make a huge dent in your wallet.
