HELP! Packing for show

[JumpIT]

I am making a list for packing for my schooling showjumping show coming up on the 23rd... And i'm not really sure what to bring! I have show clothes(jacket, tall boots, shirt, etc) and I don't think that it is required to wear it, but should I anyways? What other kinds of thing should I bring(I am riding one of my stable's horses) and I am staying overnight up there. I am also driving up to take a lesson the day before.. So I don't know wether or not to bring my schooling clothes as well. Help me out?

If it were me, I'd dress in your show clothes because it is better to be over-dressed than under-dressed!

Make sure you have things like water and snacks.

Sorry, I can't help out any more than that!

Thanks. The last schooling show I went to, I was just told to wear my half chaps and a nice sweater, but then all of the other competitors were dressed in jackets and everything. So I felt sort of dumb!

Well, at most schooling shows, I wear my tall boots, show breeches, and a show shirt. Bring your jacket, because at some schooling shows, no one wears a jacket, and at others, people do. As far as other things to bring, of course, snacks and lots of water.

Hairnets, bobby pins, and extra hair elastics. And even though it's a schooling show, you still want to look your best, so bring boot polish (and paper towels to stuff in the top of your boots so you can polish them before you get on and not get your breeches dirty). I would also bring schooling clothes too, because most will wake up early, and school their horses in the morning before the show, so they can have time to rest before they show.

Alot of riders dress in their show clothes, minus the jacket in schooling shows. And I'm not sure what the weather's like where you are, but if it's cold, I would bring another white long sleeved shirt to wear under your show shirt in case you get cold.

Have Fun!!
