Showing

Many of our students also enjoy showing their ponies at local, regional & national shows. Our students attend an average of 3 - 7 shows a year. If running for a major title or year- end award a rider may need to attend as many as 10 or more shows a year.  Most shows we attend are 2 or 3 day events while on occasion we attend one day shows that are in the D/FW or OKC areas. Please see estimated show expenses for these additional costs. 

Additional veterinary cost may be necessary do to illness or injury. Some horses/ponies also require medical maintenance for joints if they are older or shown heavily. These costs can vary.

Life insurance and major medical policies are available through several agencies that specialize in equine insurance. The current yearly rate for full mortality is 3.4% of the insured amount (usually the purchase amount or value). I can give you more information on insurance carriers if you are interested.
