Afternoon all - I have my first ever BD regionals at Addington in a weeks time and am trying to make sure I remember everything!

So far I have on my list:

Saddle, bridle, numnah, girth, bridle number.
Haylege, hard feed, water buckets
My jods, stock shirt, stock, jacket, hat, boots, gloves, spurs
Non riding clothes + waterproofs etc
Food & drink for me
Horses passport

So tell what I have forgotten!

:) TIA!
 
It's our first regionals too next weekend (northern region), we're not staying away but from experience of staying away for other stuff:

A good torch
Clothes for every season (and more socks than you think you need)
Suncream
Waterproofs (lots of)
Some sort of alarm clock (or a charger if you are using your phone)
Extra feed if you want to give an extra lunch or snack
Wine!

Good luck!

Most of all have lots of fun, it's a real achievement to qualify, and don't forget to pick up your plaque :)

Ah yes - must try and remember to pick up my plaque! Hairnet isn't needed, stock pin lives in the lorry on the end of my stock :)

Yes - lots of clothes - I don't very often travel away with my horse but always seem to have a miniscule amount of stuff for me and an absolute mountain for my horse (same applies when we are at home though :D )!

Excited / nervous - luckily I have a friend coming with me to remind me to eat while we're up there!! ;)

If you're staying over do you have mucking out tools? Grooming and plaiting kits? Boots or bandages? And good luck :)

I am one of those rare BD-ers who is minimal on both boots / bandages and plaiting kit! ;) THank you ! :)

Thank you! :)


I am working hard to convince myself that I am excited and not nervous! Although I know a lot of my pre-show anxieties are more about travelling rather than the riding bit of it! But I'm still super pleased that I have qualified my little old un-dressagey mare!
