What Is My Responsibility For Horse Shows?

This is a list of things you must do to prepare for the show.

Day Before Show:

•  Bath your horse/pony.  Do not put show sheen in saddle area or in mane. 

•  Have your boots polished and show cloths clean and pressed.

When You Arrive At The Show:

•  Come dressed in show cloths with the exception of your hunt coat and helmet.  Wear a shirt and pair of pants to cover your show cloths so you stay clean while getting ready. We will do your hair right before you put your helmet on.

•  Check in with Megan to get your class schedule. Your parents will go to the horse show office to get your number while we get your horse ready.

•  If you are in a hunter or jumper class, you will walk your course before you get on.

•  GET ON AND HAVE FUN!!!!

*Reminder* ~ Never enter the show ring unless Megan is at the back gate with you and sends you in.  There is no need to rush into the ring alone or unprepared.
