Dear middle class horse show family, I see you.
I see you picking and choosing what shows you can afford.
I see you buy your child that older, been there done that mid level horse.
I see you on the rail at every lesson, soaking up all the information that you can.
I see you scouring the internet for second hand clothing for your child.
I see you at shows, cleaning your own tack and grooming horses to save money.
I see you happily entering your child and horse in classes against high dollar made horses and cheering everyone on equally.
I see you hug your children when they come out of the ring win, lose or draw.
I see all of you sitting at the stalls, having a great time with your adopted horse show families.
I see you wishing you were rich so you could buy one of those high dollar horses for your child, but understanding that your child is learning valuable lessons on that older been there, done that horse.
I see you. And I hope that you know that when you look back on your time with your child, the stable and your horse show family how rich you are.
