Summary
What exactly is a local show association and why does it matter? In this episode, I’m joined by Kelly Gannon, adult amateur rider and volunteer of the Central Virginia Show Jumping Association (CVSJA) , to talk about how local horse shows actually run, from costs and volunteers to why they’re critical for young riders and adult amateurs alike. We cover: Local vs rated horse shows What kids learn beyond ribbons The real costs behind running a show Why volunteer support matters What happens if grassroots associations disappear If you’re a non-horsey horse mom trying to understand the ecosystem you just joined… his one’s for you.
