It takes alot. You have to be a very dedicated rider and start the sport from a very young age. You have to find an amazing horse, not necessarily the best looking, but it has to have huge scope. It is also an expensive procedure, to be able to become an international show jumper you want to prove that you are capable and try to get a sponsor. You also want to try and get as many rides as possible and be dedicated to riding, training, and competing them all. One of the reasons you have to be dedicated as showjumping is a very active and competitive, meaning you will have to travel world wide for many of the finals. So if you think you are all of the above go for it, but as it is a competitive sport, be aware of the risks. You cant just expect that overnight you will suddenly become the next john Whittaker or Harvey smith, or whoever you look up to, you have to do aggressive training and keep with it. Always have a back up plan, as you cant work a full time job and be an international show jumper as the two don't compromise. Get the grades so if you don't make it, you have qualifications still. But most of all follow your dreams I dream of being an international showjumper, but have my heart set on being an equine vet as well. I have decided to go for the vet, as at the moment age 14, i dont own a showjumper, but a cob that can jump 1m35, not bad for a 14.1hh, but i am jumping on a shoestring. I know, that my mum would not compromise with me dedicating my life to showjumping but is happy for me to be a vet. After loosing my dad to cancer, we cant possibly afford for me to become a showjumper, but my eyes are still open for possibilities. All i have to say is go for it, dont wait for opportunities to arise, find them yourself and get started now, i hope this was some help x Beth x
