Show Preparation

Have you been to a show or competition before? Or have you taken part in a show at your riding school?

There is a lot of things we need to remember when we go to a show. Our ponies must be clean and looking smart so we should spend time grooming them before we get to the show. When we are at the show, we must look smart too! Being on time for the show is also essential and making sure we care for our ponies correctly before, during and after the show is extremely important.

It is a really fun and exciting day out going to a show with our friends and their ponies. But, if we are not organised and prepared it can be upsetting when things go wrong! So let's make sure we know how to prepare for a show!

Have you got any top tips for preparing for a show??
