Hi from a first-year show manager in Texas

Stepping into managing our county's open show series this year after a decade on the back of a horse instead of behind the desk. Excited to learn from this group - especially how y'all balance western and english classes in the same day.

A peek at the conversations happening inside Show Hub - from pricing and staffing to scoring and welfare.

What's your XC course-walk schedule looking like when stadium runs long on Saturday? Trying to keep TDs and competitors sane on day two.

How is everyone handling heat-stress protocols at outdoor August shows? Looking for what you actually post at the in-gate, not just the rulebook line.

What hourly rate are you paying barn grooms during show week this year? Same question for night-watch - feels like the market moved again.

Any luck getting local tack shops to sponsor class ribbons? Wondering what the ask looks like and what you offer in return at a small club show.

Who are you using for spectator liability at a combined driving event? Our usual carrier just bowed out two months before the marathon.
