Allowed? (Eventing Question)

[Chione]

I'm currently eventing some horses in dressage, but young dressage events are a bit hard to fill, and they can't be run with only my horses. So I was wondering, if I train up some horses to the age I need them at, and lease them to other users to be entered in my shows against the other horses I'm competing is it considered cheating?

I'd probably left the leasers keep the horses afterwards as long as they've been entered in the events consistently.

The reason I'm not just offering free trainings is because there is no guarantee that the horses will get evented as promised.

Yes, it would be cheating as they are your horses and you're doing it for the sole purpose of competing with your main horses. It always throws a flag for us when we see more than four horses entered in an event that isn't close to being filled owned by the same person, even if leased to someone else.

If there's only your horses competing then you've set the restrictions too strictly and need to open them up or gather up some other players to train horses to compete with yours.
