I think that it would help to foster greater community if this family sport is allowed to have the space it needs to grow and flourish. This is beneficial not only for local economy, but also in building and sustaining strong community and family relations. Horse riding is a family sport and should not be penalized because of the space that it needs to be enjoyed.

It is also a sport that can be watched and enjoyed by many people, and not just the horse owners themselves - governing bodies should not dismiss the spectator appeal of attending a horse show, or even just seeing horses in their own paddocks.

I would like to add that horse owners are part of a greater global community and what happens in one part of the world definitely affects another part which is something that should be taken into account. Community is built by shared passion and horses are a passion for all.
