      As it said in the video you don't have your own horse, and you only have 20 minutes to familiarize yourself with the horse. I am not sure how much fencing actually costs.

      Amgalan Bat-Erdene​ I have Seen that in Mongolia there are many horse sports and also since there is a lot of free territory and low population, easy to take care of them, but i dont know if that is very True, but that is not always easy in other places.
      Good luck to Mongolia at the olympics from El Salvador.

No one is sponsoring or subsidizing a new or beginner athlete. They must have their own wealth just to start.

    The show jumping element needs to be removed, or people should use their own horses. Absolute horse abuse and it’s disgusting. 20minutes to familiarise yourself with a horse is obsurd - a horse needs much longer than 20 minutes. Can’t believe it really.

    • @ryancontino9752

      I think each team brings its own horses and they use those for the draw, so the horses are used to show jumping. But you are right; if the horse decides that it doesn't like you, you're pretty much screwed.
