I couldn't agree with you more! That is what irritates me about the equestrian world... how big of a factor money is. If had money I'd be showing, I'd be riding at a higher level, and I'd be noticed and recognized as a good rider... and I learned how to ride on a horse that acted like she was on crack 90% of the time, and not through a ton of lessons and shit lol
They really need to make more sponsorship opportunities available and other ways to help capable riders make it to bigger shows. Its the most annoying thing to know your capable or QUALIFY for a big show and not be able to go because of expense. meeehhh.fjgdkjg
