Behind every single combination there is a team
And for every single person behind the team - horse and rider, they all have a special position.
Going to a Championship like here at Gothenburg is a huge experience whether your a rider, trainer, groom or owner.
Unfortunately the owners are not included into the very important part of the Championships here in Gothenburg. Not included in the way that they have just very limited access to the warm-up areas, not being able to be a part of the rest of their team, standing direct a the arena helping with whatever needed, or just give the horse a pat when possible.
Not just about the sponsors of an event
A very frustrating situation for the teams, because being a rider with a horse owned by another person going to the Championships, is of course one of the very big things. And without owners many of the riders here in Gothenburg would not be able to be part of the Championships, so actually the owners are the main sponsors of our sport.
