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.

An overview of differences in traditions around the country. For example, dealing with cold in the northeast. Having few shows in the midwest. The Florida winter world vs summer. Etc. A representative from each area can discuss the pros and cons of dressage where they live.
