Well I've never been a horse person and never will, but I do have an unvarying opinion of horse owners. There are pleasure horses owned by common everyday salt-of -the-earth folks and then there are show horses. Pleasure show horses belong to showy people who buy showy pickups, trailers, saddles and tack. The attention on what is being shown seems to drift away from the horse and starts to center on the owner. Draft horse owners who show in competition seem to be a different breed of people when compared to show pleasure horse folks.
I went to a draft horse show one time and it really opened my eyes. They have many multi thousands of dollars in shiny show harness for four or six horses and the fancy wagon they pull. But the many thousands spent is more for the horses, not the owner. They need a semi to haul the horses, wagon and what have you and that adds up to even more. But the owners seem to have their attention centered more on the horses and equipment. These people either have to be sponsored or they have access to grandpa's inheritance. There's no way the common wage earner can come close to competing.Jim
