Conditioning a Rabbit to Shows?

[MIKOLI. =)]

I've asked this question before, but I'm curious as to how different people prepare their rabbits for the excitment of a show scene? I've never taken my rabbit to a real rabbit hopping show, so I've never had to get him used to all the noise, but if I just took him to one without getting him used to it, he would just freak out. And it's not really like a confirmation show, because in those the rabbit only has to just sit there and look pretty, but in rabbit hopping they actually have to navigate a course of jumps, so they have to be focused.

How do you conditition your rabbits for shows? It can be both for fitness and mentally.

Before shows, I give my rabbits plenty of good food about 5 days before and up till the show itself. They get pellets, hay, fresh water and veggies and a good coat brushing each day. Any bathes needing done are complete; any feet/butts needing washing are done and so forth.
Once I get to the show I give plenty of hay to relieve stress.

For rabbit hopping shows, I make sure I train at least 30 minutes per day, and I work on things that need to be fixed, or bettered.
