First impressions count – your show equipment

In the arena or on the course you are not only an athlete – you represent yourself, your horse and your stable. The right equipment is not only a must, but also an expression of your personality. If you look good, you feel good. And if you feel good, you ride better.

Kentucky & Samshield

At first glance this set is classically minimalist, but the little glitter highlights make it a real eye-catcher on second glance.

Riding boots – the perfect finish

High-gloss polished and perfectly fitting – good riding boots are more than footwear. On show day your boots should be spotless: cleaned, snug-fitting, rule-compliant. Classic tall boots for dressage and jumping or jodhpur boots with chaps for show beginners – both have their place. Look for high-quality materials that are still comfortable after a long show day.

The finishing touch for your horse

The show saddle pad

Your horse deserves to be shown off just as perfectly. Of course you may also ride in dressage with coloured saddle pads; there is no rule against it. But the white show saddle pad is indispensable in dressage – and by no means boring. Radiant white with glitter details, rhinestones or elegant embroidery ensures that you both have an unforgettable entrance. For show jumpers it can also be a bit more colourful and matching the jacket.

Because your horse also deserves the best appearance. 👉 Discover all show saddle pads

For your horse

Grooming & care equipment

For you

  • Show shirt with stand-up collar (white or light)
  • White / light competition breeches
  • Show jacket or tailcoat (note the class)
  • Riding boots (polished to a high shine)
  • Safe riding helmet
  • Body protector for show jumpers (recommended) and eventers (mandatory)
  • Riding gloves (white or light)
  • Stock or tie
  • Hair net & clips
  • Whip & Spurs (rule-compliant)

Must-haves (do not forget!)

  • Check in at the secretary's office (or online)!
  • Cash
  • Snacks & drinks
  • Sunscreen & insect repellent
  • Power bank & charging cable
  • Spare clothes
  • Adhesive tape & safety pins
  • Show programme / start times saved offline

First aid & emergency

Must-haves that many forget

You have the equipment – but have you thought of these things too? Experienced show-horse owners swear by these little helpers that are missing from most checklists:

  • Find out your start number at the secretary's office as soon as you arrive or check online beforehand! Do not forget to check in!
  • Cash – card payment is not available everywhere. Parking, snack bar, entries office: better have more with you.
  • Snacks & drinks – long waiting times are normal. Hunger and thirst turn the best show day into a miserable one.
  • Sunscreen & insect repellent – especially indispensable in summer when you stand in the sun for hours.
  • Power bank & charging cable – you need your phone for schedules, navigation, photos and emergencies.
  • Spare clothes – an excited horse and white clothing are not a good team. Always pack a spare pair of breeches.
  • Adhesive tape + safety pins – the little all-round wonder. Fixes start numbers, repairs kit, holds everything together.
  • Scissors, cable ties, sticking plaster – a small emergency kit fits in every bag and will save everyone sometime.
  • Show programme & start times printed or saved offline – Wi-Fi on showgrounds is an illusion.
  • Good spirits – sounds banal, but makes the difference. Enjoy the day, whatever the placing.

Travel & parking – the most important tips

Getting there is the first test of the show day – for horse and human. Anyone stressed here already starts at a disadvantage. With the right preparation the journey becomes a relaxed warm-up for what is to come.

  • Leave early: Plan at least 1–2 hours buffer – traffic jams with a horse are no fun.
  • Prepare the horse: Put on travel boots, have hay ready for the journey.
  • Drive gently: Take corners slowly, brake early – your horse is standing behind.
  • In summer: Drive early in the morning, open the vents – trailers heat up quickly.
  • Parking: Arrive early; spaces for combinations are limited. Leave enough space to other trailers so you can unload and load your horse calmly.
  • After arrival: Let the horse stand quietly for 15–20 minutes first and settle.

Conclusion: riding at shows is more than sport

A show day starts the night before – with the butterflies, the packing, the checking. It ends when horse and rider are tired, fulfilled and back home together. In between lies everything: excitement, pride, sometimes disappointment, but always passion.

With the right equipment, a complete packing list and a calm journey you lay the foundation for a great day. The rest you do – you and your horse – together.

Good luck, lots of fun – and heads up in the arena! 🐴✨
