+ Braiding Checklist
Braiding, some people love doing it, others hate it. Either way, a properly braided horse is an absolute must in the show ring. This list will make sure that even if you view braiding as a chore, you'll at least have all the right tools to make the task easier.
+ Trailering Checklist
Transporting your horse anywhere can be stressful. This list at least makes sure that you can focus on your horse and not have to worry about forgotten equipment and trailering essentials.
+ Your Horse in the Ring Checklist
Ok, so you've made sure that you're all suited up and looking your best but what about your horse? This list ensures you have all of your tack but reminds you of those small extra details to set you above the pack!
+ The Show Parent Checklist
If horse parents wanted it easy they would have got their kids into hockey! You're the horse transporter, the stall setup person, the groom, the hug provider and number one supporter, the photographer, sports psychologist, and it's still only 6:30am at the start of a four day show (and those look rain like clouds on the horizon)! We know how hard you work at the shows but we also know that it's all worth it when you see the smile on your child's face after great ride. This list hopes to make your days at the show a little easier. Good luck and don't forget the coffee!
