It can be easy to lose track of show records and forget how you scored, especially if you show often. Having these records can help you when looking for an equine-related job, selling your horse or pursuing awards offered by show associations.
Step 1
Create a spreadsheet on your computer for each horse that you show.
Step 2
Label each column to denote one piece of information. Be sure to include:
- The event
- The show name
- The show's location
- The date of the show
- The judge's name (if applicable)
- Your score (if applicable)
- Your place
- Class(es) entered
- The name of the technical delegate or head administrator
- Any other information that you feel is important, such as
- The size of your class
- Any of your or your trainer's comments.
Step 3
In each row, fill in the details for each class, not each show in which you take part.
Step 4
Update your log immediately after every show. Don't procrastinate, as you may misplace your notes.
Step 5
Use the log to improve your performance in future events. You could also show the log to your trainer as they may notice a pattern in your results and be able to help you improve further.
