So now that show season is upon us, it is a good idea to start to organize your gear. If you create a checklist of stuff to bring, when it comes time to pack, it is easier to make sure you have everything you need. It is a good idea to pack as much gear as possible in containers with lids so you can keep it organized, and stack them in your trailer tack room. I scooped the above list from Lynda Smith's web site. Thanks Lynda!! If you have items to add, post them in the comments section!
Another convenient thing to bring along is a portable saddle stand.

  2. What bank did you rob?? Sounds like a good strategy! Most trainers would agree with you!
