Show time! (and advice needed)

[Lindsey_S]

Show season is here! And with it, i'm afraid, my disorganized heap of tack and clothing. :p

So, how do you do it?? How does everything stay organized?:confused: Do you keep lists or do you just 'know' what needs to go with you? Any hints or tricks to help me through this very messy time would be appreciated. Thanks so much! :)

Yeah it depends on how you learn. If you reali cnt remember what you should be using, then make a simple list that can just easily jog your memory. Thats *** i do.

I have to make lists for *everything* in my life as i'm so forgetful, so I write down a list of tack to take, equipment, my clothing, etc, then a list of what to do to prepare for the show (schooling, mane pulling etc), then a list of what to do on the morning of the show and in what order.

If I didn't do that i'd be in a right mess!

I had to have a good hard look at my organisational skills that usually scape me through a one day show. Then it started getting me muddled at the odd two day show. I finally got it down to a fine art for the two day in January this year. Then the next obstacle was the FOUR day show in March this year!
I just made lists- and had three check boxes for each thing. It'd look like this:
************* Owned Clean Packed
Saddle
Bridle
Hoofpick


And so on. Works a treat!
