I will copy and paste the list here, I have them in word as check lists if you would like that version too, I can email it to you.
Essential Paperwork
Depending on where you live, you'll need to provide various bits of paper to the show management to be eligible to enter in the show.
□ Proof of Negative Coggins
□ Health papers and permits
□ Registration papers
First Aid Kit
While we all hope that our horse won't be injured at a show, it's prudent to keep a first aid kit on the trailer at all times, to deal with everything from a minor cut to an overheated horse. Disinfectant
□ Gauze pads
□ Vetwrap, or other non-stick bandage
□ Blunt-ended scissors
□ Thermometer
□ Bute or other anti-inflammatory
□ Electrolytes
Grooming Kit
Throughout the course of the show, where first impressions are very important, you'll be sprucing up your horse each time you enter the ring. Brushes and combs
□ Brushes and combs
□ Hoof pick
□ Kitchen towel or rags to remove dust on the coat in between classes.
□ Hoof polish
□ Cornstarch for making white socks sparkling white. Put this on before the hoof polish and remove any excess or you'll end up with white powder everywhere.
□ Quick Shade - can be used around muzzle and, with care, around the eyes to add definition.
□ Banding kit - for a one day show, most people will band before leaving home, rather than try to braid under the stressful conditions of the show ground. However, there's always the chance that one or more bands will come undone and have to be repaired.
□ Show Sheen or other coat conditioner.
□ Baby wipes - can be used to remove specks of dust, clean your own hands etc.
□ Fly repellent spray
Travelling Kit
There are several items that should be packed in the trailer every time you transport your horse.
□ (2) Spare halter and lead in case something breaks.
□ (2)Trailer ties
□ (2) Stall Bedding
□ Muck bucket and Fork
□ (2)Hay bag and hay (1 bale)
□ (2 ea.) Feed for horse
□ Treats and/or carrots -- HINT - do not feed until after your classes, or you may end up with orange froth and slobber over your clean breeches.
□ (6) Buckets - take more than one as theses can be used for giving feed and water, bathing and cooling down.
□ Traveling wraps or boots for the horse.
□ Show sheet and tail protector if you use them.
Horse's Tack
What you take in terms of tack will depend on what classes you're entering. If you're entering halter (or in-hand) classes, you'll need to take less than someone entering a horse trial or combined training event.
□ Halter and lead rope (take a spare in case something breaks)
□ Show halter and lead
□ Bridle -- make sure that the bit you take with you is legal for the classes you are entering
□ Spare reins - in case the worse happens
□ Saddle and girth.
□ Saddle pad.
□ Protective boots if needed
□ Hole punch and awl for making repairs if necessary
□ Cooler or anti-sweat sheet
Rider's Kit
What you take in terms of kit for yourself will depend on whether you're a rider, or a handler. Your list should include each individual item, instead of "riding clothes" to ensure that no little thing gets left behind. Check with show management for any required items. Boots - don't take a brand new pair to a show. Wear them in first, or you could be in a great deal of pain at the end of the day.
□ Pants or breeches. If you've got spares, take them.
□ Shirt or slinky, depending on what type of classes you're entering.
□ Hat and hat cover.
□ Hair accessories -- a hairnet or barette with hairnet attached is essential for keeping long hair looking neat and tidy in English classes. Children can wear braids. Western riders may wear their hair loose under their hat.
□ Small sewing kit and spare buttons for making repairs if necessary.
□ Safety pins for attaching numbers etc.
Miscellaneous
There are various items you can take along to make the day more comfortable.
□ (3) Folding chair(s) will make time in between classes more comfortable.
□ Snacks for yourself -- packing a picnic in a cooler will enable you to eat when time and your nerves permit.
□ Aspirin -- in case your show nerves give you a headache.
□ Toilet paper (don't ever get stuck without this!)
□ Spare cash -- for last minute entry fees or buying a cooling drink.
