How do you get ready for a horse show?

Answer 1

Practice, practice, practice! Preparation is the key!

On show day, make sure you and your horse are spotless and your wardrobe and tack fit the part as well. Everything needs to be very carefully cleaned and polished.

Pay very close attention to the judge and your surroundings at all times and follow the ring stewards directions, etc.

A big thing is that you just need to be calm. Just remember everything you have practiced! Don't worry and just have fun if you're thinking of everything you might look to tense and nervous.

There is a lot to do before go even think about going to a horse show. First you need a reliable horse that is not going to spook or run off. Then make sure you have all the tack you will need (Saddles bridles, show haters, leads ETC.) Then make sure that you have all of your show clothes. For every discipline you are competing it. When you have all that together load it is the trainer. IT is good to have a plastic tub so that you can put saddle pads, extra hater, splint boots etc.

When that is already you need to make sure that you have all of the cleaning supplies you might need like shampoo (purple if you have a white horse), hoof polish and whatever else you need. It is very important that you don't cut corners or forget anything, because the judges will notice! Make sure that you also bring a box to put ribbons and trophies in!! : )
