Show jumpers debate sexing up sport

HONG KONG: As if show jumpers don't look glamorous enough in their breeches and boots, riders and the officials of the sport are debating whether sex is the key to attracting more fans and money.

Like anything involving horses, show jumping is expensive and must compete with higher-profile sports such as golf and tennis for fans and funding.

While Tiger Woods and the Williams sisters earn millions, show jumpers have few similar earning opportunities.
