It is also worth mentioning that at a typical hunter show, without a derby or a classic, that a horse goes into the ring every 2 minutes, and that every fourth class is a flat class, with all the horses in contention in the ring at the same time.
The logistics are very, very, very different from a hunter show than a dressage show, where if it’s being run by a really tight organization, and the judge and the scribe are both totally on their game, you have a horse in the ring every 6 minutes.
Changes all the numbers considerably.
