Hi Long time lurker here.
Embarrassingly I’ve been riding for 20 years and never done a ‘proper’ show. I’ve done a few at riding school as a teenager and some run at various livery yards where I’ve had my horse. I’ve decided I’d really like to do a show away from the yard but I’ll be honest I don’t really know what to do.
I’d like to do some unaffiliated dressage. There’s a fairly local venue that does midweek dressage. What do I need to know? It sounds very stupid but what do I need to do when I arrive? I’m planning to arrive about 40 mins before my time to tack up and warm up. Do I just go straight into the warm up? Do I need to ‘register’ anywhere with organisers?
Any advice/ routines/tips would be appreciated.
