Have fun!!
And take into account that it's your first time, don't stress too much, try and enjoy the experience. It's ok to get it wrong sometimes. And don't worry too much about what other people say about you and your horse, most people that gripe are just jealous and insecure.
Good Luck to you- I'm sure you'll both do fine :)

The judges are going to be watching the horse's movement, not pay attention to your gloves (I take it this is a dressage competition?) but if you feel that self conscious about it then get a different pair. When you're out there try to forget that you are in a competition -people tend to stiffen up and look weird when they know they're competing, and don't look natural. The best advice I can give you is to relax and have fun. If you don't win it's no big deal - there are plenty of horse shows out there. Good luck (and keep your heels down :) )

Give your horse a quick check before you ride...
Before you ship, check his temperature with a thermometer.
Check for heat around the hoof/feet area.
Have the proper equipment for that discipline. For tack, try Tack.com and purchase what you need if you can't get it from a tack shop.
Have your trainer look at the horse and when you get to the show make sure you know where the farrier is located.
Always carry a hoof-pick and some basic essentials (alcohol, scissors, brushes, combs, etc>) to any horse show. Be prepared for any emergency and paste/glue the telephone number of your vet on your tack box.
Good luck...

You sound like you are already wound up! The best thing to remember is to be confident in you and your horses abilities, and try to remain as calm as possible because your horse will sense it if your not, so try to just ENJOY yourself......................
