Show preparation is about the details: a clean horse, polished tack, and the right equipment to get everything ready the night before. Good preparation reduces stress on show day — for you and your horse.
What to Look For
- Show grooming kit: extra brushes, hoof polish, and a clean towel
- Quarter marks: stencils and brushes for that professional finish
- Mane and tail: pulling comb, bands, and detangler
- Show day kit: spare studs, plaiting bands, and a first aid mini-kit
Our Advice
Pack the night before. A checklist on your phone saves you from the 6am panic — and your horse will thank you for a calm, unhurried start to the day.
