Tournament checklist
On tournament day, the excitement is usually great: To minimize the hectic pace, careful preparation helps.
Is the tack cleaned? Are girths, stirrup leathers, reins etc. in perfect condition? Is the horse passport packed, are the head numbers attached and is the hay net filled? Have I already declared readiness to start at the registration office (at least 1 hour before the start of the competition or according to the schedule)?
This tournament checklist should help you to keep an overview so that you can start relaxed for a successful ride in the course.
