What Does is The Usual Entry Fee Charged at a Horse Show?

I know it varies but what would you say are the usual entry fees for different varieties of shows? And what would you estimate the total cost of going to a show to be?



A local or fun show in my area charges about $2 to $5 per class with a $5 grounds fee. A breed show here will run about $20 per class or maybe have an all day fee of $60, plus a stall fee of $40 or so. Dressage shows can cost $300 easily for a two day show, and combined shows are $15 per division in my area. You can show on a shoestring by hitting only local shows and not getting stalls, or you could go all out and show several divisions and get stalls and tack stalls.




In my area, a fun local show is about $6


for a show with more points (still not rated though) is about $10


For a rated show... Those can vary by alot. it also matters what type of riding you do. The places I show at dressage is more expensive, and hunters and jumpers are th same lower price. Its depends where you are from also. Look up different show grounds (were you plan on showing) and MOST LIKELY you will find the fee there for both classes and ground fee, and medical too. I spend about $200 a show. But its also $10 a class (5 or more classes), gas for trailering, snack stand, grounds fee, medical, registering fee, stall, shavings, and other things.




I currently show at hunter/jumper shows and the entrance fee tends to be pretty costly. It is about a $25 dollar schooling fee as well as $75 for jumping and flat classes. This does not include board at the horse show as well as any show clothes you need. An estimated cost of a horse show for hunter/jumpers (depending on the level) is about $400-$500.




I'm not super smart when it comes to shows, but the ones I've been to, or know how much they are, are: a dressage show(in Oregon) was $25 a class. So each time you go through one of the tests, you pay $25. I think it was all training level, if that changes anything. Another one was just at the barn that I had gone to for years, they did little shows every now and then. The last one I WENT to was $3 a class, but the last one that had was $5, I think, so it just went up a little because of the economy.


Hope I helped a little!




What discipline? What level? You have not given enough info for anyone to give a useful answer.





I ride hunter/jumpers. Local, unrated shows are $20 per class. There are typically 3-4 classes in the division.





When we go to the big shows the fee can be as much as $2000 for the division for the A/O horses and upwards of $4000 for the Grand Prix horses. This does not include stall fees ($350 per stall), hotel, or meals.





Edit: I would love to know why anyone would give a thumbs down to this answer. It is accurate information. I can provide a link to the prize list if anyone would care to see it.




well for a small barrel racing show, its about $10-$15 per class (barrel racing, pole bending, arena race, etc.) but then you have the open classes that everyone enters, then it gets to about $20. but if it is a big show (NBHA, NPBA, etc.) you can only run once and it costs about $20-$30. hope this helps!




NABRA (northern arizona barrel racing association) is $50 to enter like for the wole year and then $8 per run but you have to enter before you can run.. but im almost positive ur talkin' 'bout english so i have no freakin clue :|





EDIT: wtf? its stupid that you gave me a thumbs down! i was just trying to help! gosh if you dont appreciate me trying to help then i wont.. oh and the person above me why did they give he/she a thumbs down either? they told you CORRECT information!! gosh idk about you people!




when i was showing eight years ago it was 7 bucks a class now its 15 a class.
