But then again, I'm only showing at 2'6" which isn't particularly taxing on my horse.

Granted, it was a one-day show about 2 hours away so we didn't need hotels and hauled 3 horses in the trailer at once, so I split hauling with 2 other people. I only did 3 classes (at $30/each) plus the office and EMT fee, and got out of there pretty cheaply! I've never showed at anything rated (this weekend was a schooling show) so I can't comment on that aspect, but I greatly overestimated what doing a one-day show would cost...woot woot!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00297192461648201907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234412011504408480.post-32371162229205687112014-09-23T10:54:58.746-04:002014-09-23T10:54:58.746-04:00I definitely get caught up in the "I don'...I definitely get caught up in the "I don't show a lot so I need to do a lot of classes". I think stalls and class fees are where the A/AA stuff gets so expensive. Here at my locals I pay $75 for a stall and $18 per class (special ones are usually no more than $25 with the exception of our annual Hunter Derby which is $75)SheMovedtoTexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062200290148658096noreply@blogger.com
