If you’re planning to compete at this year’s Equifest, for a memorable and action packed experience then take note of these top tips from previous competitors to make sure your show is one to remember.
- Keep a list of all your classes and rings and make a few copies of your number so you’re always organised!
- Always turnout to perfection, ‘that will do’, is not good enough!
- Take a wheelbarrow to transport equipment, because you don’t want to be carrying everything around.
- If your horse lives out normally, be aware that his legs may fill when stabled, so well-padded bandages can help.
- Equifest has brilliant on site facilities including,Showers, Toilets, 24 hour security, Shop, Fodder shop, Cash Points and Bars. There is also a doctor, paramedics, vet and farrier on site all week.
- From the moment you enter the ring you are being judged so make sure you show off your horse or pony to the max.
- Keep a drink in your grooming basket for riders when their horse is stripped.
- Don’t forget baby wipes, for you and a cloth for your horse.
- Don’t forget plenty of fly spray and a fly sheet is also useful when waiting around in the heat.
- Last but not least - Have Fun!!
Held at the East of England Showground, Peterborough, August 12 to 16, Equifest promises to be an action packed spectacular, with great showing, shopping, celebrities and brilliant demonstrations.
