I’m looking to take a baby horse to a local dressage schooling show, but am struggling to get an answer to a question on the order of go (tried emailing show organizer, no response yet). If two people are riding the same horse, is it generally possible to request one rides first? The show bill states it is permissible for riders to share a horse, however horse is limited to three classes a day total (not a problem there), but no info other than that.
My hope is that trainer can do an open test, followed by me. Baby horse was good at his first outing (ground poles at a hunter/jumper show), but there’s the occasional big spook trainer is better at working him through.
I come from hunter/jumper land and board at a hunter/jumper barn, so I sadly have no dressage barn friends I can ask. I am however super looking forward to knowing what time I ride!
