Show Information what to expect and wear
	The Day of the Show Parents this is going to be an exciting day for you and your super equestrian. We have worked hard to get to this point and we want it to be a great day for everybody. To help you child you'll want to be aware of some things. First realise that your child will be nervous and excited but that they will still need to listen to instructors to do their best so when the instructor is with you child it will help if you go ahead and head for the spectator area unless asked to do otherwise.  Second any comments that you have for you child should be positive in nature for your child as well as those they were competing against and reserved until after they are off their horse and out of the arena area. The only people who should be giving instructions are the judge or any help that the judge may be using. Third Please note that proper show etiquette by participants and spectators dictates that the decisions of the judge are final and you should not approach the judge. If there is a dispute in placing please let the trainer know and let them handle it.  This is really a beneficial activity for students of every age. It is a good idea to have the following on hand to help keep your child comfortable. 1. A bag or fanny pack containing the following 2. Water or a sports drink. Please no sugary or carbonated drinks until after the child has finished their classes. 3. A snack such as a power bar or granola bar again sugary or high fat snacks are not suggested at this time. At our home show we will have food available for purchase and a lunch break. 4. A brush and extra rubber bands for fly away hair 5. One cloth for wiping boots after student has mounted and other such sundries. 6. Lip balm and sunscreen 7. Camera for all those picture perfect moments! 8.  Your smile enjoy the day. Again we are looking forward to having you and your  small equestrian joining us. Feel free to ask any questions that you might have I'll be happy to answer them. See you in the arena -Tiffany
					Remember Students and Parents shows are not all about ribbons but what you learn from them. So please be supportive of all the participants. Thanks -The Judge's decisions are final.
