GET READY FOR EVENTING
To Do List:
Get your horse fit, on the day of an event he will have to do a dressage test, show jump,
and a cross country round of approximately 4 – 5 minutes. You and your pony should have
practiced all the 3 disciplines.
Don’t forget to adjust your pony’s food according to his work.
Plan your training, it cannot happen in the last two weeks before your event.
Plan your arrival time around your dressage time, and make note if you have to walk your
cross country at the beginning of the day, this could happen if your cross country will start
close enough to your show jumping.
Your horse/pony will need to be plaited for the dressage and show jumping, these may be
removed for the cross country (xc), if you prefer.
When you arrive on the field collect your numbers (they may be given to another Bray PC
member who should keep them in their box for distribution).
