I agree. I agree that's it's bloody expensive to do in high high high levels, but it's not for the 1 percent, either.

I do eventing, which involves Dressage. I do it on a $400 pony that won't make it far. Sure, it's not an Olympic level, but I'm still doing Dressage. I barely have any money, and work off my lessons, so I still get top notch lessons. I get higher on lesson horses than I can my own.

I do agree it's an expensive sport, but you don't have to spend 100k+ for an Olympic level horse. I mean look at Boyd Martin, he got a rescue for under 1k and went into the Olympics on him!!

Same goes for Polo.
