Show Supplies Checklist

So, have you ever gotten to the show grounds and realized that you have forgotten something important ? I always run through my check list before I leave home. I may have too much stuff, but it gives me peace of mind, knowing that nothing has been left behind. Use these ideas to build your own personal show check list ... post it in your trailer, tack room, and inside your hat box, for easy reference. Organize your show stuff in containers with lids, so that you can stack them in the trailer tack room. Open tote carriers are nice but can get dumped over or filled with hay and debris, containers with lids or zippers are much better. Label similar containers for easy identification. Extra large garbage bags are great for covering bales of hay, making rain coats and covering saddles in bad weather. Let me know what you have added to this list, so that I can update my own.
