Showing, the Correct Way

NBS riders show to measure progress, not just to collect ribbons — every show is a chance to see how far horse and rider have come.

“It’s not about the ribbon — it’s about how you as the rider feel you did, and the ability to see the progress and growth available to you and your horse.”

Show Preparation

Presentation & attire

Every horse and rider represents the barn — here’s what’s expected on show day.

Horse presentation

  • No horse leaves for a show without a fresh clip and a bath
  • Grooming can be done by the owner or arranged with NBS for a fee
  • Clean tack is required for every day of the show

Rider attire

  • Sleeved shirt, tucked in, with a belt
  • No bright wraps or pads at the show
  • Correct show attire expected for every class
