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 J
