Here me out… what else do you really have to do at a show besides take care of your horses?
This is not my vacation.
I clean my stalls 20x a day I bet lol. It really does help, even if you clean them 2x a day at home, you can clean them extra at the show.
Also, although I feed slow feed nets on the trailer, I typically free feed on ground at the show. Sometimes I don’t think they can eat enough hay if they are working so hard for it. Worried about waste? Feed as much as a horse wants, one flake at a time to cut down on waste. Just be aware of what’s right for your specific needs, and keep that in mind.
Performance horses NEED calories.
I try to keep them as comfortable as possible on the road, bed them heavy. You’re not going to have your best athlete if they are achey, sore and hungry.
