I was looking over the entry forms and rules at the local fair today so I can enter a couple horses. The offer halter mares and halter stallions/geldings, halter champion, driving, and driving champion. So the B sized horses compete with the A sized horses (except in driving). No big deal, I am used to it. So Then I look at the prices of the classes.
@!^@&*!^!@!!!!!!!
25 BUCKS FOR A REGULAR CLASS? I have been to an Area show where the open class was only $15! And what is worst? You have to pre-enter for the championship class and pay $30!
So, if want to Enter Zeus in geldings, Chantilly in mares and both in the champ class, that is a whopping $110 for only 4 classes. Add the driving classes and the total skyrockets to $165.
I am still going to show at least Zeus, but I am not sure about doing driving or anything. It isn't worth it.
I gasped and shuddered at the stall prices and I feel bad for the big horse owners. $80 per stall, $70 for a camper hookup.
Thanks for letting me rant and rave.
