On show day plan on doing a lot of waiting around. It is something that can go very quickly or very slowly. Your child will participate typical 1 category and go in the ring 3 times for that event. They will be in the ring for about 5 minutes total. It is something for me makes me anxious, because I want her to shine. Once the competition is over they annouce the winners. This is another time I am anxiously waiting to hear her number. Show day can be a great or disappointing day depending on how competitive your rider is.
Just so you know the first day is Hunter day. This day is more about the horse and less about the rider. The second day is Equatation day. This day is more about the rider and less about the horse. This is a way the rider gets to show off their skills on making the horse look great and the horse making them look great.
All I know these days can be long but a lot of fun.
