    Buying after a loss

    How far do you travel to compete, and what do you consider local

    We have about 5 rated (affiliated) Dressage shows and about 5 schooling (unaffiliated) with in 1 hour to 2 hours drive which I consider local after that you have to travel 6 to 12 hours to get to a show. America is big and I live in the middle of nowhere. Its even worse if you do Eventing...
