Its still winter, but its never too early to be thinking about show season right?

I know I sound like a broken record regarding all this crummy weather and it feeling like I live in the arctic...but seriously I totally get why eventers make the great migration every year down south. It is just impossible to ride unless you have an indoor, which I do not. So that means trailering out to ride which is pretty hard when you work full time during the week.

So when I get down and cant ride....or use a dressage lesson to cheer me up, I buy things. 

Yes I know...I need to cool it especially since I am budgeting to buy a new trailer. BUT show season is right around the corner. Its never too early to consider adding things to my shopping cart that will make show days easier when they are on sale right?

My latest purchase:

• Dover - reflective garment bag. No more carting around my show clothes in a trash bag as a cover or throwing them in a duffel bag getting wrinkled. 

• Show day grooming box: I like that it has a shallow tray and fully closes to use to store my stud kit and sit on when applying studs.

And finally the product I am really excited to try:

• Level PH: to help with all the hauling we do and start preventative ulcer care. It also has electrolytes. I have heard not all horses will eat it, so curious if Tillie will...but when I was a working student, I saw an avid polo player use this on their horses and they all ate it and did well on it. Dover recently had it on sale REALLLY cheap so I was able to get 3 months supply for $74

What are some items you cant live without when you show?
