We have put together a basic packing list of 'EXTRAS' for the first time 3-Day Eventer.
Remember that this list is meant to be combined with your regular one day Horse Trial packing list,
and is a guideline only, not a shopping list!
Extra Braiding Supplies
- horses are to be braided for Horse Inspections and for Dressage, so be sure to have stocked up on your braiding supplies
Jog Up Outfit(s)
