Horse Show Checklist

Use this check list to help you prepare for a competition. It can be hard to remember everything so I find this is a great help. I suggest printing this out and keeping it handy when getting yourself ready for a show. ( P.S. if you would rather print out a plain version ( with no picture etc. ) than click here )

For your Horse ( what to do within a week or two before the show ) :

~ Bath ( at least a day before the show, use show sheen to give your horse more shine )
~ Trim/Pull mane ( if necessary )
~ Trim whiskers and long hairs etc. ( do this a few days before so that hairs will look more natural )
~ Braid man/tail ( if necessary )
~ Clean all tack VERY WELL

To Pack ( things to use on horse ):

~ Saddle(s)
~ Bridle(s)
~ Saddle Pad(s)
~ girth/cinch
~ Spare reins and stirrups ( incase something brakes )
~ Any optional tack - martingale, breast plate , over girth etc. ( make sure it is allowed in your classes )
~ Brushing boots/polo raps
