How To Prepare For Open Horse Shows And Events

By Jerry Burns


Nothing could be harder than preparing for a competition. However, where stakes are high, doing certain things right can increase your chances of excelling. Here are helpful tips on preparing for open horse shows and events.

Groom your horse daily. If you really want the animal to be ready for a show, it is important to keep it groomed always. There are several benefits that you can withdraw from grooming the animal regularly. These include increased emotional bonding, improved health and enhance coat shine. Basically, a clean animal will look healthy and happy always. Cleaning them involves working out dirt off their coat, picking their hooves etc.

Offer your pony the right type of food. To enhance the health of its coat, you should feed it on certain grains. These you can buy from the local stores in large quantities so as to ensure you have enough all the time. Some of the foods that can really make the coat your animal shine includes dried bread crumbs. Incorporating them into the diet you provide is therefore advisable.

Keep up with the healthcare needs of your animal. Before taking your mount to a show, it is critical to ensure that it is up to date on its treatments and vaccines. The last thing you want is to go for a competition with a pony that is ill, has worms, underweight or overweight. To make your horse more presentable, ensure that it is healthy enough.

One of two days to the event, there are certain things that you need to do. Perhaps, the first one is to bathe your mount so that it is clean enough for the show. It is therefore recommended to bathe them a night to the competition. This will ensure that they do not catch too much dirt that could affect their appearance. When bathing them, remember to use products that enhance the shine of their coat.

Pack for the event. There are lots of things that you need to gather before going for the competition. However, the most important items that you should not forget are the right food and drinking water for the pony. Here, you are advised to pack the food that they are used to taking on regular days. Still, it is critical to have at least two buckets of clean water.

Have the required stall equipment. You should find out from the organizers of the show if there is anything you need to bring. For instance, inquire if you will have to come with the bedding for your horse. Other things that you may be requested to pack include shavings, hooks, chains, buckets and a wheelbarrow. Still, it is important that you carry a first aid kit for both you and the animal.

A few hours to the event, there are certain things that you should do. They include doing some final grooming, getting dressed appropriately and taking time to just relax. To enhance your performance, be passionate about what you do and encourage yourself. Comparing yourself to other before any competition will only be counterproductive.
