Congratulations on signing up for your first horse show! As a rider, your first horse show is one that you will always remember. No matter what level or type of discipline you have signed up for, complete preparation is the key to combating your first horse show jitters. Every equestrian has gone through and still goes through feeling nervous, excited, and stressed out over entering a horse show—whether they are new to the show community or a world-class Olympian!
