on 6/30/2006 Bring someone who knows horse shows-like a riding instructor, when you watch shows. He will point out which horses are good and why they could win. After you get good at show-watching, it's fun to guess who will get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.

on 11/22/2005 Don't ask questions of a person who is schooling a horse. Or of someone who looks like they are on the way to or from an arena. This is a competition, and horses and riders spend a lot of time, money, sweat and tears to get there. Riders and trainers need to be focusing on the performance of their horses.
It's also better to attend a show with someone who knows about the breed or style being shown. They can explain what is being done, why it is done, and clear up any misconceptions you may have.
