361.0. "Show Time! Have You Forgotten Anything?" by PENUTS::MADAVIS (If wishes were horses...) Tue Aug 07 1990 13:02

	I have put together the following list in an attempt to 
    get to my second show with all the things I'll need.  If any
    of you can think of anything else to add, please do.  I have
    been away from the show ring for so long, I'm sure that I'll
    forget something of great importance!  Thanks in advance for 
    all additions to this list:

361.8Revised List For AllPENUTS::MADAVISIf wishes were horses...Tue Aug 07 1990 19:4570
	
    	Thanks for all the added suggestions - they're GREAT!
    
    I included some in the list and decided since so many of us
    have different requirements for the style of our riding, I would
    put in extra lines at the bottom for personal needs.  You can 
    extract this list to your vax account by typing:  EXTRACT give file
    a name followed by the note number (.9 in this case).  Then you can
    edit and print from your vax account.  Linda mentioned hanging it up
    in her trailer for quick reference.  Hope that this helps to get the
    bunch of you to the shows/events in one piece - I know I need it!
    	Marti

361.10"Pony Tails!!!!!"PEKING::GILLOTTWWed Aug 08 1990 11:167
    
    
    What about a hair net or ribbons for those of us who have got 
    rather longer hair?  Hair looks so untidy if it is left loose
    don't you agree?
    
    
361.11And for those of us with stage frieght...DASXPS::DOUGHERTYWed Aug 08 1990 16:104
    ...don't forget the valium! (hee hee)

361.12Remember: prevent snake bites!FRAGLE::PELUSOPAINTS; color your corralWed Aug 08 1990 16:123
    re: .12
    
    .......or snake bite medicine..... ;*)
361.13AND.....COMICS::PEWTERThu Sep 06 1990 09:102
    
    ....an articulated lorry to carry it all in.....
361.14TLE::DINGEEThis isn't a rehearsal, you know.Thu Sep 06 1990 15:156
    
    "articulated lorry"! I love it. In the States we call it an
    eighteen-wheeler. I'd like a vehicle dedicated to all that, so
    I don't have to load and unload every time I want to go somewhere.
    Or someone to do it for me...
    
361.15I NEVER have time to sit down, but..PENUTS::MADAVISIf wishes were horses...Wed Sep 19 1990 20:218
    After the most recent show, I decided that I had better remember
    lawn chairs for everyone.  It makes things a lot more comfortable 
    for those who come to watch us ride.  
    
    Keep the suggestions coming, I'm sure we'll all benefit from
    the extra thoughts and comments.
