the horse shows i goto are over night, like my last horse show was 9 hours away. so we kept our horses there for 2 weeks, they get turned out every day, and the get ridden every day, it is not very stressful on them. other fees are: braiding with is $100 just for the main and 50 for the tail, but we never do tails unless you goto palm beach or have a pony in the classic. it costs alot to just trailer your horse down to the show too. for the outdoor a shows they have golf carts, they are like 50 dollars a day. and i have a pro rider, david beisel, ride my horse during the days i am not at the show, for him it is 25 dollars every time he rides. so all in all it costs alot of money to goto a horse show.
ya a horse doesn't haff to cost 20 grand to be great, my trainer found a pack horse/ large pony, got it for like 1 grand and the pony was worth like 150 grand, number 1 pony in the country like 2 years ago. both of my horses were over 20 grand. but we also drove 9 hours down to virgina to look for both our horses, so we put in alot of effort into finding 2 great horses...
