Everyone's gotten to a horse show and went into their tack room and panicked when they realized they forgot something. This article is to give you an all inclusive checklist of things you may need when traveling to a horse show. I wrote this to apply to most disciplines. Some items may not apply to you. Print this and keep it in your tack room in your trailer to check before you get on the road!
Always remember if you are crossing state lines you legally have to have a negative Coggins test and health certificate with you for each horse in your trailer!
