OVSS Boss,
I know what you mean about "horse people." I used to fly them (I flew for a Part 135 - air taxi - company in the 1990s) between Houston and Lexington, KY during the show season. Very egotistical folks! (Or at least the ones that I came in contact were.)
Yes, and they have a right to be. Most of these people have to tend with many many flakes always trying to get something for nothing. I have a Step Son-in-Law that is in the business. Those that do the jobs and provide the equipment have to be ready to invest lots of $$ in items that are not warranted to be a money-maker. [

Unlike those that complain about AMA dues, club dues, etc., etc., these people that show the horses are, in many cases, simply enjoying their HOBBY! They well know if one cannot afford his/her HOBBY, then go do something else. I for one may well do a lot of modeling, but show horses I CAN'T afford. [:-] When I can't afford modeling, then there is always fishing with a cane pole on the creek.
