[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with riding is barn culture. Horse parents are BSC, way worse than gym parents. To get the training to become a really competent rider you need to be in the academy space and not just rec classes. Then once you’re showing you need to lease or own your horse and it just keeps going. [/quote] If you pick a reasonable barn for fit (much like PP theater parent described) and don't ride at the national level, you avoid this and come within budget for far more families in this area. If our family had done what you describe, I would list as a regret. If competing within reason, absolutely no regrets and lots of wonderful memories and important life lessons learned.[/quote]
