Facebook asks what's on my mind?
The future of horse showing is what's on my mind this is an open conversation about the future of horse showing. After 10 years of weekend after weekend we are feeling the pull of just enjoying our ponies in whatever way brings us joy that might be trails, beach, swimming afterall we live in the most beautiful partnof the world.Pony showing no longer brings joy.
I absolutely love breeding beautiful ponies and will continue to do so I'm very passionate about riding ponies and preserving bloodlines as older generations retire now more than ever it's important to preserve this rare breed.
My daughter loves producing ponies from start to hand over we love seeing our ponies loved and thriving ❤️
Participating in sport based on judgment where you aren't often rewarded for the hard work that's put in, the politics, the jealousy, the bitching behind backs the expensive outlays why continue when it always ends in tears and not happy ones. I don't believe this is good for our young teens. Heck, it's not good for me it soul-destroying 😢 imagine what this sport is doing to our children.
Absolutely it has taught some reliance, graciousness, sportsmanship, friendships, etc but 10 years of 9 out of 10 shows a season end in stress and tears and many question marks.
So is there still a market for these beautiful ponies? Going forward we will concentrate on breeding and producing I'd like to extend my Stud services introduce new stallions and and just have four mares but is there a market??? I'd need to invest a substantial financial commitment will people still buy my ponies?? Is the future international its becoming only for the very wealthy? There are still breeders flooding the market and breeding a heap each year is my quality vs quantity in vain perhaps no one actually cares about Bloodlines and quality traditional breeding perhaps the future is just a fun all-around pony that's a mix of all sorts they seem to do well in the rings let's talk about it 😀
This is a safe place to have your say let's support each other if I find a share or a screenshot floating about i will out you and your bitchy conversations will be shared DO NOT do that
