Taking part in the most prestige sport could drain your finances. Depending on the type of sport, the cost for both the training and equipment could be expensive. Let us take a quick look at some of the sports that are considered on a different level when it comes to money.
Pentathlon
If you wish to take part in pentathlon, then you must be prepared to spend cash on not just one but 5 different sports. These sports include:
- Fencing
- Swimming
- Pistol shooting
- Running and;
- Show jumping
Needless to say, the cost for show jumping is already too expensive as this needs a horse; and buying horses are not cheap.
Also, let us not ignore the fact that there are other elements of the training that can’t be disregarded similar to fencing equipment, buying and maintenance of the guns and so forth.
Unless you have deep pockets, don’t take part in this sport.
Equestrian
This sport requires riding skills, driving skills, vaulting or steeple chasing with horses. Basically, riding a horse is one of the activities that children are dreaming. But the sport itself is a totally different story. This is something that is left to the privileged individuals only. Believe it or not, the cost for exhibiting a horse especially on an international circuit goes north of 200K dollars per annum.
