When it comes to preparing for an equestrian event, nothing ensures peace of mind quite like a well-organised equestrian show checklist. Whether you’re competing at a national level or attending your first local show, having everything you need—and nothing you don’t— can significantly reduce stress and boost performance. Your equestrian show checklist is more than a list; it’s a vital preparation tool that separates chaotic mornings from focused competition days.
At Astra Noctis, we believe that success starts long before the arena — it begins in your packing process. Your tack, gear, and clothing must reflect readiness, elegance, and the spirit of being AN Equestrian. Below is our detailed equestrian show checklist to guide your preparation for any competition.

Your equestrian show checklist will evolve depending on the event, weather, location, and your discipline. Still, having this master packing list as your starting point helps ensure you never forget key items. At Astra Noctis, we’ve learned through experience that it’s often the overlooked small item—like extra gloves or a clean towel — that saves the day.
Remember, part of being AN Equestrian is showing up prepared, stylish, and fully in tune with your horse. Trust the process, use your checklist, and step into the arena knowing that every detail has been thought through. Your confidence and composure are just as important as your riding skills—and it all starts with your equestrian show checklist.
