How about show prep? Deciding what to show. How to practice the week(s) before. Feeding/conditioning. Packing for a day show/weekend show. Dealing with weather (hot and cold). Filling out forms/needed memberships (and why). What to do when you get to the show grounds (eg, get your number).

In depth discussion about how the levels help develop the horse. Why you can’t jump from training the 4th level in a year. Horse strength. Maturity. Etc.
