Costs of dressage
A Dressage Husband was a little confused , in the little free time he has from the duties of a Dressage Husband every thing he touches turns into money , a lot of money .
He puts money in the bank interest goes up, he buys a house ,next day property market booms, what ever he has the world needs, how ever in his roll of Dressage Husband he sees little return for his investments definitely not a financial one .
He buys a £500k horse and its only good for munching hay , he pays for a Top Trainer and he runs off with the first wife ( prudently, current wife only trains with Junior Trainer we all know what he likes), he spends £ 4000 on a saddle to be told the horse changed his shape. He spends £250k on horse box , £100k on a specially designed according to FEI specification arena and more and more, the list is endless.
After many years as a supporting Dressage Husband at last his wife presented him with small token of reward for all these investments , a tiny little one tier purple rosette given to the unplaced participants of the BD walk halt (rising optional) local championship .
He held this cherished item in his hand turned to his wife and said “Darling realistically speaking this little rosette cost me 2 million five hundred thousand and 75 pounds “
His Dressage Wife looked him straight in the eyes and replied “ WELL THEN !!! YOU ARE LUCKY THEY GAVE ME ONLY ONE OF THEM”
