Horse show parents

Just read a great article on "Help for Horse Show Parents" from MacNairs Country Acres.  Three main points: make a list, have everything ready the night before, and handle the stage fright.  Actually it is two lists; one for the horse and one for the rider.  The packing the night before includes snacks and water.  The stage fright section included what to do after the show: stay out of the way of the trainer, and don't say anything if it was a disaster because uyou just can't win...  Lots more tips in the article.
