[spotty_pony]

Am slightly nervous, but hopefully it will go ok! Anyone feel like testing me? I promise I won't cheat!

 

[Bowen4Horses]

Good luck for tomorrow

 

[spotty_pony]

Thank you!

1. Fold the rug in half; making sure the surcingles are tied in a knot and leg straps are clipped up out of the way and place on the forehand of the horse, slightly above where it should lie.

2. Fasten the front buckles around the chest.

3. Fold the rug back and slide back slightly at the front into the correct place.

4. Fasten the surcingle straps.

5. Fasten the leg straps.

urmm. Can't remember what is in what stage but maybe

what are the rules of feeding?

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

No idea what to ask you but good luck - I'm sure you will do just fine!

 

[spotty_pony]

Rules of feeding:

1. Feed according to weight, type, height, amount of work done etc
2. Feed little and often
3. Make sure all feed utensils are kept clean
4. Feed at the same time each day
5. Make any changes to the diet gradually
6. Feed something succulent everyday
7. Feed good quality feed stuffs
8. Do not feed immediately before or after exercise
9. Do not allow horse to have a big drink straight after eating

and I'm sure there's one more... hmmm...

Seriously you will be fine, once you have out your tack on check it all fits and get it worked out in your head what you are going to tell the examiner so you don't blurt out random things then contradict yourself later on once you have relaxed.

Know your types of girth, noseband, the different kinds of wisps available, remember to keep skipping out, remove the water bucket and net.

Good luck!
