Get riding clothes
The helmet is in the hallway, the boots are in the garage and the breeches are at the bottom of a drawer, and one missing item is enough to stop the whole departure. The picture list below gathers the parts in an order you can follow through the house.

About this visual support
Riding clothes are a gathering job more than a dressing job. The kit is spread across the house, the pieces come out only a couple of times a week, and so no routine ever settles into the body. What looks like carelessness is usually the fact that the items have never had one shared place to return to.
A picture list works like a packing slip. Each card stands for one item, and a child can work through them in turn until the pile is complete. Sort the cards by where things live in the house rather than by the order they go on, and the trip around the rooms becomes one lap instead of four. Give the helmet its own card at the end, since it is often the one piece that cannot be squashed at the bottom of the bag, and add a card for checking the weather before you decide which layer travels along.
If you want the list to come to the stable with you, build it in Routined and tick off the parts while you pack. The pictures here are free to download, and the app can be tried for 14 days at no cost.
