Eventing check list
Here are all the things I take to a Horse trials plus some things to make sure I can keep on going if something fails.
-
· Dressage Saddle
-
· Jumping Saddle
-
· 2 girths (my girths fit both my saddles, so I have one spare)
-
· Breast plate (don’t actually need to use one as yet)
-
· Assorted Saddle blankets
-
· Gel Pad
-
· Helmet
-
· Gloves
-
· Tie (no I don’t have a stock)
-
· 2 bridles (one for spare parts really)
-
· 2 sets of reins
-
· Dressage whip and jumping crop
-
· Cross Country Boots
-
· Jumping Boots
-
· Ice Gel Pads in freezer plus set of boots to match (no ice needed)
-
· Spare Horse shoes (nothing worse than loosing one)
-
· Back and saddle cloth numbers
-
· 2 sets of gaiters (I suppose you could fix a blown zip with electrical tape)
-
· Spurs for jumping and dressage
-
· Back protector
-
· 2 pre packed hay bags
-
· 20 liters water
-
· A small hard feed
-
· Dressage tests
-
· Performance and membership cards (never leave the car)
-
· Pre programmed GPS so I know I can get to where I am going without a morning panic
-
· Various waterproof clothing and another top just in case.
If having to leave early I hook up the float the night before, and make sure everything on the float and car is mechanically good. Nothing worse than going to hook up a float in the morning to find a flat tyre. I’ve probably forgotten something on this list, but as my packing the car is usually fairly automatic I don’t tend to end up forgetting much
