Anyone know how much the entry “package” costs?

The entry/prize list says it’s “valued at over 100k euros” but there’s a “special rate”, prices are only available on request by a qualified professional.
Yes, I am aware as I read the prize list.
I’m asking how much it costs. 
So this event starts in two days and no one can find a list of teams with each member named? Do I have that right?

That sounds like it is a variable rate so they aren’t saying. Cost depends on your star power.

And what about braiding?!??!! Are we gonna see hunter braids, hunters braided with jumper braids, or no braids?!
Braids. One of my friends flew over there to braid.
I hope the braiders will get a chance to see the sights a little bit instead of just the horses’ necks.

It looks like there will be a live stream on GCTV. Does anyone know if that is free, or if you have to subscribe to it?
They don’t have any start lists posted yet for the hunters, but hopefully they will at some point.

Doesn’t it run in the afternoon? So odds are they can fit in a bit of sightseeing at some point. The won’t be braiding overnight.
Hopefully not to the usual degree, anyway.
I would not be surprised if those horses have pretty full schedules during the day to get ready for the show ring, though.
Plus imagine being on a braider’s regular sleep schedule and then having to factor in jet lag and the time difference. Especially if they’re only there for a few days, so they won’t have much time to adjust. Yikes.

Did you see longeing is by pre-arranged times only? That’s going to throw them a curve ball getting the horses prepped.

I did see that. Interesting development.
Off topic but if Lillie is cooling her heels at Valkenswaard she may as well pop up to Ommen on Saturday night to bid for this darling creature. The foal she won at Aachen is going to need a friend, right?

Yes, it is traditional that the winner of the Young Horse final wins a foal.

Huh.
Well, she already has quite a few horses. But maybe that one will turn out to be the next superstar.
