Last year I wrote my Showing Check List and decided I need to follow up with my showing schedule!
The Day Before!
They day before a show is always hectic! I have found a schedule that I like and it seems to work for getting everything done in time and getting an early night! Believe me, it might not seem like a lot to do in one day but doing all of this will definitely get you tired by the end of the night!
10am - I take the in horses in from the field like any other day.

12pm - This is when I take the time to do the mucking out and any other stable duties that are due to do that day! You can find my cleaning routine for the stables HERE. I do this so it is out of the way and the stables are ready to go in the evening.

5pm - I get to the yard and start packing the horse trailer with the rest of my showing check list along with everything I took from home. I also fill haynets and water containers for the trailer. Anything that I cannot put in the trailer goes in the car for tomorrow. (You can get an affordable grooming kit from Bentley Slip-Not 8 Piece Equestrian Grooming Kits

6pm - I take the horses back in from the field and it's time to wash them. I wash, trim and plait each horse one at a time. I then rug them up with the appropriate rugs for the weather and bandage them.

8:30pm - It's time to go home!!
The Day Of The Show!
6am - Wake up and get dressed. I put my showing clothes on apart from the jacket and wear waterproofs over the top. I think get my hair and make up done quickly ( if I can be bothered!!) and get some breakfast.

7am - Get to the stables and tie the horses up in the wash bay. I then muck out and do any stable duties as I don't like doing it after a long day!

8am - Load the horses and set off for the competition!
9am - Go to the office and enter the classes for the day! The buy some breakfast, go unload the horses and tie them up with a haynet. I will then sit where I can see the horses and eat my breakfast.
9:30am - Tack up and get ready for my class! I start warming up at least 30 minutes before my class on Shandy and 45 minutes before my class on Zoe so I have time to calm her down! Then it's ready for the competition!
