As show season creeps closer, I’m getting out my garment bag, digging my sun hat out from the depths of my closet, and trying to remember just how it was that I survived competition weekends last summer. I’m absolutely not a morning person, I was living out of my barn owners’ living quarters at each event, I have a rather inconvenient medical diet, and all our show venues are hours away. Can someone please remind me how the show life works? Thankfully, after my barn family and I moved to our trainer’s home base barn a few months ago, our team has become even larger, so I’m very excited about us all being there to support each other at events this year; however, our previous barn owners (see: Designated Horse Show Mom & Dad) are moving back home, so my whole vibe is thrown off. Do they crown a new Designated Horse Show Mom, or is there a sort of lineage protocol to be followed? Please advise on how this hierarchy works.
