Other Horse Show Expenses

The client is responsible for the cost of all entry fees (including class fees, drug fees, office fees and schooling fees), whether the client shows the horse or Hugh shows the horse.

 

When a client shows one of Hugh's school horses, an additional fee per day is assessed for the use of the horse.

 

At shows where braiding is required, expect to pay around $60 EACH time the horse's mane must be braided, and the same amount each time the tail must be braided.

 

Cost of tack/grooming stalls, feed, bedding, supplies and trainer's hotel are divided among the number of HORSES at the show.

 

ALL FEES must be paid on or before the last day of the horse show.
Late payment may incur billing fees or a late-night visit from "Guido."
