CLOTHING PROTECTION!!!
- Wear something over your clothes! Your horse might rub or sneeze on you! I have experience lol! :)

Always use sweat sheets!
- Whether you are showing western or english, always use half or full sweat sheets! Half neck sheets protect loose or braided hair from those horses who love to rub braids out or roll. Bring a stable sheet or winter coat if you are goin to a winter or fall show. On your stall or trailer door, keep a sign with your contact info and vet's #. For halter classes bring your leather halter and chain lead. Exercise your horse A LITTLE in the morning to warm them up, but not to much. You don't wnat to tire them out the day of the show.

No more early mornings! :-)
- Always, always, plait and bath your horse the night before the show. You can do some emergency plait fixes in the morning and it means you can get up at 7.00 instead of 5.30 for your horse show. If you stable your horse overnight or put a cover on, your horse is not very likely to get dirty.

Dont be late
- Pack the night before and get everything together that night that you will need the next morning so you can get a good start and dont be late to the show. Running around in the morning at the show can be very stressfull. This way you and your horse are relaxed. :-)
