The Cliquey Show World.

Horse shows can bring out the best, and the worst out of every competitor. Although, it all comes down to one thing. "cliqueyness". The horse show "cliqueyness" is separated into different types:

-Wealth.

-Connections.

-Jealousy.

The horse show world, is all about how much money you have in your pocket. It doesn't matter how hard you try, who ever deserves it more, if you are a great rider or if your horse is the most push button horse out there. Its all about the money. Or, who ever has the greater connections. Whether the wealthier families are "B F F's" with the judge, or if trainers have their own clients participating in the same class they are judging.

Then, there's the intimidating type. The ones who didn't have to work their hardest to achieve greatness. It was handed to them. But the ones who had to work there butts off in the first place, value winning. Although, they end up getting treated like dirt, because they couldn't buy their way in.

 Next, there's the Jealousy part of the show world. they will do what ever it takes to win. Even if it means destroying any one who gets in their way. Or  there's the over competitive mothers. Who believe winning is the most important thing.

Although, there are a few shows (areas) that are not totally based on the money, what tack you have, or what connections you have. Which these are the types of shows I believe are the most enjoyable ones.
