What are your top tips for making your time at events more efficient?
Some things I’ve incorporated this year:
-
After xc, when saddle and bridle are off and horse has had a drink and pulsed down, take horse straight to the wash rack and hose off legs with boots still on. Then remove and finish washing horse etc. Saves a step of taking muddy boots to the hose to wash.
-
Similarly, when taping boots folding back the last 1/2” of each stripe of tape to make a tab for easy tape removal after xc.
-
You don’t need an armband anymore unless you have a medical condition. Really!

For braiding with bands, three bands is exponentially better than two. One for the end, fold and band again, fold again and put in the third band. They each grip each other. Blessed be the fruit!
These might be old news to you but somehow they evaded me over the years!
