Each year I attend about 15 shows - preferably national for our young horses and international for my best horses. To make sure that my presentation in the dressage ring goes as I hope it will, preparation has to be carried out according to a plan. That starts with having the right equipment, includes a comfortable trip for the horses and ends with warming-up that meets the needs of each individual horse. My parents usually go with me. My father watches over my training and preparation for shows and my mother takes care of managing everything else.
