With the cold weather settling in, it is a great time to sit down and organize your show schedule for the coming season. Look at your budget and plan out the shows you are going to attend. Check out the new tests and familiarize yourself with any new or updated regulations. Make sure all your memberships are up to date. Review and make a plan to fulfill the requirements for the local organizations and breed associations you belong to so you and your horse will be eligible for year-end awards.
