We all know that summer means more daylight hours to enjoy with your horse. It also means keeping little ones busy during the school holidays, endless social engagements that you just can’t say no to, and all of this on top of your usual busy schedule.

So how on earth are you meant to fit in getting your horse out to shows when it really seems there aren’t enough hours in the day? Thank goodness for evening competitions.
