You should receive lots of information, but also go to archives (humm how do 
you do that?).  Anyway, better not to change blankets unless you have enough 
time to break it in with yor horse.  If you have a couple of weeks, then try 
it.  One thing to remember at a ride is that trying out something new - new 
shoes (horse and you), new blanket, new  bridle, new saddle is just better 
not done until you have time to try the new thing out while conditioning.  
Luck does play a part, but a chance could be good or bad.
have fun - and just go as you've been going.
