I have my first big dressage show at the weekend. This is why I got my lorry, I'm so excited.
My question is how well turned out are horses expected to be for dressage? My horse lives out overnight and has got 4 white legs. Will I be expected to wash them so they are spotless, or will everyone understand that it's winter?
What lengths do you go to turn your horses out for posh events? Obviously I will plait and clean my tack (and I suppose my boots as well). It is unaffiliated, but it's a big unaffiliated show (30 riders in each class!)
