What is the most forgotten item for pony finals?- Social fun highlights

Awhile back, we wrote a list of all the items you need to bring to pony finals. But we couldn’t help but feel like we still forgot a few things, so we asked and you answered. Here are all the best responses from our followers on social media.

Lamination sheets for the numbers so they don’t get ruined when it rains

Extra girth, halter, bridle, spur straps, riding gloves. Also sewing kit with safety pins included, baby wipes, tack wipes, sunscreen , duck tape, thread needle elastics, water, tack cleaner, bucket, extra hay, and food for pony and humans.
