RE: [RC] A perfect illustration - Kristen A FisherI am planning on getting a couple endurance tickets but the fact is, how much of the event will we be able to see? You get a day of dressage, you get to see every horse/performance. I'm not sure what there is to see in WEG endurance but for $25 I am willing to gamble ;-) Kristen -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp- owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of k s swigart Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 4:27 PM To: Ridecamp Subject: [RC] A perfect illustration For anybody who would like to have a perfect illustration of a good reason that endurance will never be an Olympic sport, I provide you with the following price list that was sent to me as a USEF member with an opportunity to reserve tickets for the 2010 WEG in Kentucky. The Deposit prices, per series ticket, are: Opening Ceremonies $75 Dressage $375 Vaulting $250 Eventing $200 Jumping $375 Driving $150 Reining $300 Para-Equestrian $75 Endurance $25 With the next cheapest event (the opening ceremonies) being three times the price of endurance, and the biggest draw events (dressage & show jumping) being 15 times the price of endurance, the fact of the matter is, there is nothing in endurance riding that many people consider worth paying to see. This does not an Olympic sport make. kat Orange County, Calif. :) "Le meilleur que je sais les hommes le plus que j'aime mon cheval."--Catherine the Great =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
