Sometimes your show will be far away from where your horse is stabled, and sometimes it will be local. Here is a list of supplies to remember to bring... make sure you have a checklist and make sure you have everything! Here is a list of commonly needed items... if you can think of more please e-mail me and I will add to this list to share!
