| There is a difference in what you take based on whether you are going away or close to home shows. Sections: Grooming Supplies: shampoo, conditioner, towels, combs, brushes, etc... Tack equipment for ring side: pin brush, comb, bows, table, wet wipes, paper towel, table cover if you use one, table arm, leads, pen, catalog, extra rubber bands, water bottle with water, tack carrier, etc... Carry Equipment: cart to roll carriers, table, and tack box equipment on from car to grooming area and ring. x-pen, dishes,fans, cooler, water from home, and food |

| Forgot chairs for ringside too. And I always bring copies of their vaccinations, just in case someone asks. Here is a photo of my young one at the last show. |

| You do have alternate equipment when you are flying to a show: However, the standard procedure is when you are flying to a show such as the National is to have your equipment shipped ahead of time. Or, if you're real lucky you have friends that live in the destination location that will provide you with equipment.

| Most of the shows here on the west coast are out doors, so you don't leave your equipment set up overnight. You have a set of wheels that you place a crate on top of and on top of that crate you attach a grooming table top....Makes it kind of nice since you can move it from ring to ring, instead of having a permanent set up.

Specialties - still many of us drive there, even the one in NY. If the show is far away and one has to fly they ship their stuff ahead of time. It is cheaper this way. I know people around my area that still drove to NY for the Specialty and they were showing there and at Westminster. If you saw the Merit Award Winners - two of them were from my home state. So competition is very tough around here in my neck of the woods, but we have a good time. Mary, many of the shows in FL in the 80s were outside. I know Tallahassee and WPB were inside, but most all others were outside too. Now, there are mostly inside shows. I like these better, in case the weather gets bad. There was a show I went to last year in NC, it was inside - but way too hot. I thought we were all going to faint. Many did not show back up on Sunday. I was glad I was only entered in that show for Sat. and did not have to return. Last edited by topknot; 04-08-2010 at 05:40 PM. | |
