We all know that if we feel good on the inside and look good on the outside then we will have more confidence when showing, no matter the discipline.
It is a real confidence boost, knowing that you have worked hard training for your next event, learning your patterns for that reining class, knowing your horse is working well on the cow or even practicing your ranch trail and nailing it every time. When you are putting all that hard work in and hoping to do your best performance, you also want to be confident that you and your horse are going to look your absolute best once you enter the arena.
Preparing for a show can start months and even years in advance as I am sure plenty of you know! Keeping your horse under lights, making sure they are getting the best nutrition, rugging them, keeping long lush manes (those that have them) plaited up and tails bagged are all important steps in planning for an event, however I’m going to focus on preparing your horse so that you both wow the judges with not only your skill but how well you present!
