Hmm don't have a set "planned number" so quick tally:Pony Club EliminationsPony Club State ChampsPony Club Eventing State ChampsLocal ODELocal Showjump Champs3-5 ODEs? Depends on datesHopefully a couple of dressage days, some pinto shows at the end of the year, and maybe some local Ag shows if the dates fit in.Knock on wood at least 10 shows How far apart do you break? We like to show a fortnight apart, every weekend is just too much effort! Especially with the ODEs. We may show back to back weekends depending on the disciplines and which horses I'm taking.How long are they? Pretty much everything except the local events (pony club events, some dressage and ag shows) are weekend events. ODEs we travel on Friday, compete Sat & Sun and drive home either Sunday or Monday depending on how far away the event is. The pinto shows and some of the dressage days have to travel down the day before (usually a Saturday).How many classes do you show a day? Are they spread out? Back to back? Eventing is my thing so it's only one class...just three different disciplines lol. Dressage on Saturday, cross country and showjumping on Sunday.The Pony Club Eliminations (which select for state champs), definently dressage and showjumping classes, depending on the horse Horse of the Year Class (which involves dressage, jumping and mounted games) and I may get roped into the Clubs drill team again. All on the same day so is a busy busy flat out day, especially if I also get roped into leading a little kid lol.Pinto classes - thus far has been only 5 or so led classes in the morning, but hope to show under saddle this season (which is later in the year) which will mean a few classes before lunch and then a couple after lunch as well.I would do a couple of dressage tests at a dressage day, and may take two horses.If its a one day show or a two day show does it make a difference in what youll have them do? Only two day shows I've done that haven't been ODEs have been the Pony Club Eliminations/State Champs, which usually involve dressage, showjumping, drill on one day and a show on the second day (normal flat showing classes and more jumping).The one and only show I went to it was a one day show and I only did two classes which were 31 and 33..
