Thank you! And yeah I will try to. Hopefully it will be good and we're wearing the right stuff ��

It's a charity horse show in Kent. The class is Ridden Arab/Foreign Breed I think but the lady who organised the show has Arabs

Thanks everyone for your replies! I cleaned her tail and legs today and will keep them bandaged when she's in so they don't get stained. I gave her body a quick wash with a purple shampoo and shes cleaner than she was so that's good:D

Taking my mare to a local show in about a month. She's currently ridden in a Dutch gag (middle Ring) and a running martingale. I've been told that having her in this combination will get us marked down in the show ring?? Is this true? I could possibly ride her without the martingale as it's only...

tashcat is it the NAF Show Off? https://www.derbyhouse.co.uk/naf-show-off?dfw_tracker=22485-5032410126129&gclid=Cj0KCQjwktHLBRDsARIsAFBSb6xrVwNJr4ijfYKvZ64jouanzDd6p7-r8DnIb2gAVaggY1FIPzJytLoaAnusEALw_wcB

I'm doing Ridden Arab, Ridden Veteran and Best Combination

I've found some Vetrolin White 'N Brite Shampoo in the shop today and was wondering if anyone had any experiences before I spend £20 on a litre bottle of it?! It's a purple shampoo and internet reviews are good but I'm still worried about dying her purple the day before a show!!

What do you wear for ridden showing classes?

So we have a show in a little over a month and currently my supposedly dapple grey mare is a rather unpleasant yellow colour covered in stains and dirt. Anyone have any tips or specific products on how to get her gleaming white!! Her old owner showed me pictures of her at shows and she was...

Hello. I am soon moving up to Edinburgh with my horse due to me starting university and wanting to bring her with me. It's obviously very cold in Scotland (much colder than the milder winters that we have down here in the South East). What rugs will I need to buy for her? She is an ISH but...

Thank you so much! I will definitely be stopping for the night because if I do get stuck in traffic the journey will be much longer than 8 hours and I don't really want to risk it. And thanks for your suggestions of places to stay :)

Soon I will be taking my horse up to Edinburgh with me as I begin University. I want to make sure that I have everything I need for him and have made a list but the number and types of rugs I need are baffling me. Edinburgh is in Scotland and Scotland is cold right? So that means more heavy...

Haha yeah sorry. Stupid me! Thanks for all your help. I will look at YRC now. 4 hours to get there, then approx 4 hours to get to her Livery Yard with an overnight gap in between. That sounds much nicer than 8 hours straight.

I have decided to now do the trip over two days with a break inbetween. I was wondering if anyone knew places on route where my horse could stay for the night?

Thank you so much for this. It's really helpful. Could I ask if you let your horse off of the box at any time and where? I'm guessing it's probably illegal to offload them at Motorway Services (as well as very dangerous!!) Do you know of any professional drivers that you can hire to drive your...
