[QUOTE="farmwife, post: 567883, member: 4247"] Good advice, y'all. One more thing that I can think of -- know the show rules. Around here most shows have gone to blow and go (no fitting allowed, period). Other basic stuff: Never point your showstick up in the air (common for some beginners). Make sure the nosepiece of the halter is not low, down on the muzzle (I hate this and you have less control). Show courtesy to the other showmen in the ring. Help them if their calf stops or they drop their stick, etc. Remember, it ain't the way your mom and dad used to do it -- make sure you are fitting your calf appropriately (rooster tails and a few other things went out years ago, if your mom or dad doesn't believe you tell them to walk around the barn with you).
