eventing edition

We all know the mad flap before an event trying to get everything ready, or may be it's your first event? I'm going to give you a cheat sheet on the top 10 most important things to remember. 

1. Tack- Saddle(s), Bridle(s), xc & sj boots.
2. Riding Hat(s), Body protector, number bib (with number!) & air jacket
3. Studs & Hoof pick
4. medical arm band - this is one I am known to forget regularly!​

• spare plaiting bands, grooming kit and hoof oil.​
• Hay nets, plenty of water and buckets for washing and drinking from. 
• Show jacket, xc colours and a spare pair of jodhpurs
• Riding Boots, spurs and hair nets.
• Polo's- for bribery of course!
• SNACKS for you! - the one I definitely won't forget
• one more for luck- Your lucky pants! - this is a well known essential for anyone in the horsey world whether they are classed as brave pants or lucky pants depends purely on the day.

Remember- HAVE FUN, STAY SAFE AND ENJOY YOURSELVES
GOOD LUCK and let me know how you get on!!
