Is showjumping an expensive sport

Answer 1

It depends how much you are willing to spend

To elaborate, much of it depends on the level of riding at which you're competing, and how much training you're willing to put into your horse. Showjumping on smaller circuits can be very affordable if you approach it with some common sense and practicality. Ask around at shows about working as a groom in order to learn how to properly turn out a horse for showjumping, as well as how to care for a horse doing things such as properly applying standing and polo wraps with or without liniment. If you learn how to do this before starting your show career, you can save hundreds on grooms and basic veterinary care.

The most important considerations are buying only the essentials and working your way toward more knowledge and connections - this can lead to finding a trainer at a discounted rate if you work for them as a stable hand at shows!
