5 small things you should never go competing without

In todays fast paced world there are a few small keep sakes that I have on me at all times, they can make a massive difference when travelling to how much enjoyment we get out of the trip. I’ve partnered with Amazon to allow you to get them for a great price so you too can enjoy the added slice of luxury they provide. See you at the next show. Competing in luxury!

1. My Yeti’s ride shotgun

Yeti 20 oz coffee mug

Yeti 26 oz water bottle

Yeti stubby cooler

There isn’t a single comp that I go to that I don’t take my Yeti coffee mug, my Yeti water bottle and my Yeti stubby cooler to, the technology behind them is nothing short of magical. Although I have started to take it for granted that my coffee is still hot 5-10 hours after I made it, the brilliance isn’t lost on me. This paired with my love for a cold beer and cold water on demand is a combo I can’t emphasise enough.

2.My phone battery is shit so I always pack a spare.

INIU power bank 22.5W

INIU battery charger

My phone battery going flat is one of the most annoying things at a show and I don’t want to turn the truck on to charge it so and risk a flat battery so this little sucker gets charged and comes with me every time to keep my phone and my watch charged.

3. Like me, my horse’s also indulge in self destructive behaviour.

Triage kit

Classic equine red vet bag

My animals are repeatedly on a mission to injure themselves right before I get on them so for that reason. The first thing to go into the truck is the Classic Equine Vet bag full of supply’s. After the Esky that is.

4.My audio books are my addiction

Audible

Cant hurt me book cover

Driving to and from a Campdraft used to be such a pain in the arse until I discovered Audible. Now I can’t wait to get into the cab and tune out my girlfriend and listen to whatever audio book I’m listening to at the time.

Some of my personal favourites are-

Atomic Habits -James Clear

Can’t Hurt Me -David Goggins

How to get Rich -Felix Dennis

5.The Queenslander’s Dress shoe (Crocs)

Unisex Crocs

black unisex crocs clog

Although I haven’t currently got a pair of my own I have been known to steel my partners crocs for a cheeky run to the bathroom. And I will concede defeat for telling her that I would never wear them… I’m getting some.
