- 16:18that
- 16:19the
- 16:19trainers

- 16:28choices
- 16:28are
- 16:28getting
- 16:29smaller
- 16:29and
- 16:30the
- 16:30places
- 16:31that

- 16:31as
- 16:31a
- 16:32choice
- 16:32are
- 16:32getting
- 16:32bigger,
- 16:33what
- 16:33are.
- 16:33You
- 16:33going
- 16:34to
- 16:34do
- 16:35exactly?
- 16:36And
- 16:36I
- 16:36think
- 16:36that's
- 16:37the
- 16:37conversation
- 16:37people
- 16:37are
- 16:38starting
- 16:38to
- 16:38have
- 16:38more
- 16:39openly
- 16:39now.
- 16:39It's
- 16:40not
- 16:40whether
- 16:41WEC
- 16:41is
- 16:41good
- 16:41or
- 16:42bad,
- 16:42that's
- 16:43just
- 16:43too
- 16:44simplistic.
- 16:44The
- 16:45real
- 16:45question
- 16:45is
- 16:46what
- 16:46happens
- 16:47when
- 16:47one
- 16:47model
- 16:48becomes
- 16:48so
- 16:49dominant
- 16:49that
- 16:50the
- 16:50rest
- 16:50of
- 16:50the
- 16:50industry
- 16:51starts
- 16:51adapting
- 16:52around
- 16:52it
- 16:53and
- 16:53because
- 16:54I'm
- 16:55sure
- 16:55smaller
- 16:56horses
- 16:56absolutely
- 16:57have
- 16:57to
- 16:57feel
- 16:58pressure
- 16:58from
- 16:58this.
- 16:59Yeah,
- 17:00of
- 17:00course
- 17:00they
- 17:00do.
- 17:00And
- 17:01honestly,
- 17:01there's
- 17:02many
- 17:02of
- 17:02them
- 17:02that
- 17:03can't
- 17:03compete
- 17:03with
- 17:03it.
- 17:04I
- 17:04mean,
- 17:04they
- 17:04don't
- 17:04have
- 17:04that
- 17:05type
- 17:05of
- 17:05financial
- 17:05backing.
- 17:06Exactly.
- 17:07Because
- 17:07once
- 17:08people
- 17:08get
- 17:08used
- 17:08to
- 17:09giant
- 17:09indoor
- 17:10arenas
- 17:11and
- 17:11perfect
- 17:11footing
- 17:12and
- 17:13restaurants

- 17:18inadequate.
- 17:19And
- 17:20even
- 17:20if

- 17:20riding
- 17:20itself
- 17:21feels
- 17:21perfectly
- 17:22fine.
- 17:23And
- 17:23I
- 17:23think
- 17:24that's
- 17:24where
- 17:24some
- 17:25people
- 17:25feel
- 17:25conflicted

- 17:27one
- 17:27hand,
- 17:28these
- 17:28places
- 17:29are
- 17:29incredible,
- 17:30but
- 17:30on
- 17:30the
- 17:30other
- 17:31hand,
- 17:31the
- 17:32financial
- 17:32expectations

- 17:42stabling
- 17:43for
- 17:432,000
- 17:44horses.
- 17:45Now
- 17:45there's

- 18:21Right.
- 18:21I
- 18:22didn't.
- 18:22I
- 18:22didn't
- 18:23get

- 24:02this
- 24:03not
- 24:03just
- 24:03in
- 24:03the
- 24:03hors.

- 24:05the
- 24:05horse
- 24:05industry
- 24:06just
- 24:06is
- 24:07magnified
- 24:07because
- 24:08it's
- 24:08an
- 24:09animal.
- 24:09It's,
- 24:10there's
- 24:11just
- 24:11so
- 24:11much
- 24:11more
- 24:11to
- 24:12it
- 24:12than
- 24:12just
- 24:12picking
- 24:13up
- 24:13a
- 24:13tennis
- 24:13racket.
- 24:14But
- 24:15I
- 24:15do
- 24:15think
- 24:16that
- 24:17somehow
- 24:18along
- 24:18the
- 24:18way,
- 24:19a
- 24:19lot
- 24:19of
- 24:20hobbies,
- 24:21sports

- 24:22businesslike
- 24:23and
- 24:24people
- 24:25don't
- 24:25know
- 24:25how
- 24:26to,
- 24:26how
- 24:26to
- 24:26do
- 24:26it.
- 24:27So
- 24:27it
- 24:28seems
- 24:28to
- 24:28me
- 24:28that
- 24:29there's
- 24:29the
- 24:30in
- 24:30between

- 24:33not
- 24:33we
- 24:34can
- 24:34make
- 24:34changes.
- 24:35I
- 24:35don'.
- 24:36But
- 24:37it
- 24:37seems
- 24:37like
- 24:38you
- 24:38might
- 24:38have
- 24:38to
- 24:39make
- 24:39compromises
- 24:40of
- 24:40your
- 24:40own.
- 24:41And
- 24:42I
- 24:42think
- 24:42that's
- 24:43what's
- 24:43hard
- 24:43for
- 24:44people,
- 24:44too.
- 24:44How

- 24:52just
- 24:52going
- 24:52to
- 24:52be
- 24:53better
- 24:53off.
- 24:53Maybe

- 24:54riding,
- 24:55you
- 24:55can
- 24:55still
- 24:56ride
- 24:56your
- 24:56horse.
- 24:57Nobody's
- 24:57saying
- 24:57you
- 24:58can't.
- 24:58But
- 24:58you
- 24:59don't
- 24:59have
- 24:59to
- 24:59spend,
- 25:00you
- 25:00know,
- 25:00$200,000
- 25:02to

- 25:06level.
- 25:07And
- 25:07that's
- 25:07a
- 25:08terrible
- 25:08decision
- 25:09to
- 25:09make.
