Before the show:

If you would like to discuss your classes or any thing else regarding the show please set up a time to talk it over.
One week before the show check your list be sure all your equipment is in order, clean with HORSE name on everything. Please clean out your box only bring what you need. Kara supplies all grooming supplies. Your box must include all horse equipment except for saddle.
The night before the show please have your box packed neatly with your wraps rolled and left in front of stall.
The horses leave 1-2 days before the show starts.
Talk to Kara about what day to arrive.

At The show:
When you arrive at the show you will need to check in at the show office. Bring a signed check and your membership cards. Get a print out of all your classes!
Make sure to pick up a daily schedule and review all of your classes for the day. It is the riders responsibility to know their classes, including when they go and what ring they are in. Always check with Kara or assistant before getting ready. The daily schedule is available the day before in the afternoon get them early.
Check in before you leave the show.

Remember to always demonstrate good horsemanship and sportsmanship. We are showing to become educated riders and most of all have fun. Shows are a learning experience and require patience. At the end of day it is not just about the ribbons .Its about what works what does not, the perfect fence the not so perfect fence and team work between all of us and our horses.

Good luck in 2009!!

If you need any extra time to talk with Kara please set up a time.
