And finaly when you have packed everything. Make sure you pack them yourself in th lorry / trailer /car.

I packed all my stuff yesterday for a local eventer trial. put my reins, over reach boots in a plastic bag along with some cold drinks. I bloody left them resting on a log where i loaded the tralier.

Luckily I was able to borrow some reins from a very friendly competitor at the event.

DOH!!!!

But the comp went well. got round both clear. no rossettes but hey ho, I got round
