It is my understanding that the CHSA was started to help regulate a group of local shows so that there would be consistency in division specs, courses, division fees etc. As far as possible, I think this has been successful. The organization/Board does not, however, have complete control over what additional fees a show manager might choose to charge. That is why there are some differences between shows, but you will see that the divisions always cost the same. Some horse shows must rent a facility to use and might choose to add additional fees to help defray their cost, some won't. It is totally their own management decision. The answer to this, as you already figured out, is to choose which shows fit in your own budget best. Also, as someone pointed out, not all members of the Board are show managers. In fact, if you count from the list, there are around 10 members that run shows and around 18 that don't! Actually, I think the Board is comprised of a good mix of show managers, trainers, and Adults...plus your Jr reps. So, if anyone has concerns, please don't feel like there isn't anyone interested to represent your point of view. We REALLY try to make decisions that we think are best for the whole organization and it's members, not just one segment!
Now, if you REALLY have "more money than you know what to do with" please, please, please call me. I can definitely help you out with that problem!!! |
