Trailering: Be Prepared!

... said by a rider who recently forgot all of her clothes, boots, and helmet while heading to a "show."  That is so not going to happen again.  Click photos for larger view and captions.

My trailer's coat closet has been the home of spare towels, jackets, and winter gloves.  It is now the permanent home of my show helmet and show tub (which stores breeches, stock tie, etc.).  Those items used to be stored at home in a closet.  But after last Saturday's S.N.A.F.U. (this is an acronym for those who don't know), I think the trailer's closet is a better place to keep them.  My dressage boots, show coat, and show shirts will remain at home.  Hopefully they won't be forgotten again.

My trailer's "sofa," also known as a boot box, has always housed a couple of flashlights, tool kit, the trailer's dining table, a lap blanket, fire extinguisher, and a ratty pair of Ariat Terrain boots.  You can now find two old pair of half chaps as well.

Speedy's show pad has also been tossed up on the bed where it will rest in its plastic zippered case.  And while this has nothing to do with being prepared, I know some of you are craning your necks for a peek at the rest of the trailer.  So here are some other photos (slideshow) of the inside.  Enjoy!
