I’m not trying to start an argument or anything, this is your personal opinion, but I hate when people say this. I’m going to use the probably overused example, however it’s perfect, of eric lamaze, who came from nothing and went to #1 in the world. 

Yes, and in what decade was Eric Lamaze a “young rider”? Your point is invalid. There was a point prior to the (and in) 90s where it seemed like many riders who weren’t necessarily wealthy could work towards a secure place in the horse world, but my experiences haven’t led me to believe that is still the case. I recall many older riders who were bitter, and would actually try to sabotage and ruin young riders out of jealousy that maybe they’ll get to accomplish something they couldn’t. I also only know of a few younger riders (early 30s now) who work extremely hard and have only gotten to the status of young horse trainer and schooler. There are few who worked hard, had little money and got to catch ride awesome horses and make a name for themselves. All the people I can think of are in their 30s at the youngest.

alright, getting rid of the time gap. I know lots of people my age (22) who didn’t come from money, and now compete internationally or are well on their way to. they worked their asses off to get where they are. I’m not saying it will happened to everyone, I’m just saying it’s not impossible. using money as an excuse is a bit close-minded and defeatist. I never once heard these people complain that money was an issue.
