Blue English
I need tips on getting a blue ribbon in a english equitation (like clothes and stuff) 
?
1.do you know how to get cheap feild boots
2. what should i do to prep for the show
3.Basicly any tips for the show ring
for boots: do you ride at a local barn or know of one or know anyone else who rides? you might be able to borrow someones boots or wear ones that they grew out of. Check garage sales (you would be surprised how many ppl make a huge investment in riding then just stop for one reason or another) Devon-aire makes decent quality boots that will look nice and last you enough shows for you to decide that you really want to keep showing and are willing to make a larger commitment by buying quality things.
to prep for the show:
weeks in advance:
wear your tall boots to a couple of lessons or rides so you break them in and get the feel for them. Make sure your horse knows how to load in a trailer if you are going to an away show. Make sure the horse is in good weight and is getting daily grooming and care. Send in entries and prepare for your specific classes (if it says will be required to back, hand gallop, or ride on loose rein, make sure you can do it) Go to the tack shop to be sure you have all things needed for horse shows.
go to the barn the day before the show and groom and bathe your horse. Make sure the mane is pulled and the muzzle and legs are clipped (have someone show you if you don't know how). Clean all your tack (bridle, saddle, boots, saddle pads, etc) and make sure you have all your supples (grooming, lungeing, buckets, hay, first aid kit, etc)
tips for the show ring:
stay away from all horses, remember at least a horse lengths apart (i prefer 2 or 3!) not only is this in the ring but anywhere on the show grounds too wheather you are on a horse or just walking around. You never know if a horse might kick out, bite, spook or could carry a disease! (make sure what ever show you are going to requires a coggins form, and that you get one from your vet and submit it to the show office with your entries)
stand out in a good way! Don't cut off riders, don't circle needlessly infront of the judge, ride like you are the best in the ring but don't be a snob, be a good sport (mostly applies to kids but ive seen adults get livid if they don't pin!)
arrive early enough to give your horse a good warm up then a chance to take a break and get some water before your classes. Make sure you and your horse are eating and drinking to keep up energy and prevent dehydration.
don't go with alot of the gimics that are out right now, like blinged out belts and bright show shirts and jackets, they will make you stand out yes, but for a begginer rider you don't want to draw attention to your self and spend all the extra money the newest trends seem to cost.
set your self 1 or 2 realistic goals that you hope to accomplish (getting your diagonals right, keeping your heels down, etc) and if you accomplish your goals, declare the day a success! p.s. Having fun should always be your first goal!
