So, with all the different \"bubbles\" of the horse world, how can we all get into the same room to share a little bit of curiosity, perspective, and humanity with each other? Welcome to Horse Person, the equestrian podcast hosted and produced by 3x award-winning podcaster Caroline Culbertson. Part education, part human-(horse?) interest, all with the ultimate goal of supporting and encouraging you on your journey to become the best horse person you can be.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T20:17:44.589925+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/horse-person-7041983"},"episode":{"title":"ROUNDTABLE: How Did Showing Get So Expensive?","slug":"roundtable-how-did-showing-get-so-expensive","published_at":"2025-11-17T09:59:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/horse-person-7041983/roundtable-how-did-showing-get-so-expensive","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/horse-person-7041983","url":"https://79b2102c-3fd6-423a-a765-ff527b31a91a.libsyn.com/roundtable-how-did-showing-get-so-expensive","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/79b2102c-3fd6-423a-a765-ff527b31a91a/show_cost_roundtable.mp3?dest-id=4703547","summary":"The horse world doesn't always agree on everything, but it can agree on this: The cost of competing is becoming prohibitively high. In fact, the cost of most things related to horses seem to be creeping up every time we turn around. How did showing get so expensive? Are enthusiastic riders getting priced out of being able to compete even just a few times a year? What is the sport's leadership's view on this and what's driving the bottom line at show venues? To discuss, Caroline Culbertson is joined by USEF CEO Bill Moroney, CEO of West Palms Event Management Dale Harvey, and a Texas based adult amateur named Meg Walsh.
