This made me giggle, thanks.
FWIW, I don’t actually show. I don’t want to show. I don’t want to pay for showing. I don’t want to wake up early and go to show. But since I have other goals that revolve around my horses showing (not to mention I apparently can’t insure one of my horses for more than meat price because I got a screaming deal on her as a weanling purely because I don’t show)… someone is going to need to show her for me. You know what that ideal lease looks like to me? Exactly the program some people are poo-poo’ing. I want her in a program with a leaser who has a trainer who does do the show prep rides. I want her to get the good experience from a proficient rider, and if that means a trainer takes her in a class or two first, awesome. I will pay for the show pictures.
