Hi all,
Since we ended up not doing rated dressage shows, we're doing unrated everything else. Which includes wandering off to a mini event at the end of September. Pony is a pretty alright jumper and I'm passable at getting him around a course. He's pretty confident out on the trail, and will happily jump logs and cross water and the like, but I intend to get him out and schooling at a cross country course a few towns over when he comes back from his two week spell. Dressage should go pretty alright- since the test is pretty much training level and he's schooling third.
So I have some questions- and a general invite to ANY and ALL miscellaneous advice.
1. What are your must-haves to pack, I've only ever shown dressage and have that kit pretty much down pat.
2. Is there any unwritten etiquette I should know about, or things I should do to make the volunteers lives easier other than not knocking down every rail in stadium?
3. Boots. We have galloping boots for the front and ankle boots for the hinds- is this adequate for XC or will I need to get something else/more?
