Yes you will need first aiders if you do jumping (you cannot start a class without official first aiders in attendance).

You could do an early "fun" start of the season show with some clear round jumping, prelim test, a Riding Club Horse class and a family pony class maybe? That would involve a range of ages and types.

How exciting! if you hold it let me know and I will come up and help/support! It's not far for me.
 
get a gazebo and barbecue . you can get down to the cash & carry and make a fortune out of cold drinks and food. also get in touch with a show photographer i love buying the pictures. you could also haee a 2nd tack stall. i went to a fun show last year and really enjoyed it they had jumping & showing classes. they also had dog show it was really busy. i am sure it is St john ambulance that do most shows. normally you pay a £1 per competitor this covers it. good luck.
 
We used to have them at the livery im at.

We had 2ft3", 2ft6" & 3ft jumping
Pairs (swap the whip in the box)
Chase me Charlie (im still rank 2nd hehe

Prettiest horse/pony

Urmmm i cant think of much more

Oh and some inhand/ridden showing.

We also had fun stuff after the show such as bbq, drinks, buffet, pin the tail on the horse (not a real one

do some little jumping for us nervous nellies, if only I could find a 1 ft class (don't laugh) I might actually have a go! Walk/trot tests are always popular as well.

Wherabouts are you?
