Open horse show? I don't think so!

First they take our show season,then they hold us to ransom.If the EFA is supposed to be supporting all horse owners,why the hell are they holding an OPEN horse show for EFA members only?

OPEN should mean just that - OPEN! My family and I have Young horses that are not showjumpers or dressage competitors. They're not even old enough! And because we don't exactly have a spare $1000 to pay for efa registration and membership we get tossed to the side. How can they say that they are trying to get shows back on for EVERYONE when they are only allowing their members to compete?

Everyone who wants to show knows that there are new rules in place and strict guidlines that must be followed. How are foals and yearlings supposed to be shown as foals and yearlings if there aren't any shows for them? The EFA needs to step up. Societies need to stop running scared. People are being deprived of a life. Kids are giving up on riding.

Horses are being left to waste away. As far as we know Victoria is EI-FREE, so what's the harm in starting shows now?
