Show Clothes Guide

• Riding helmet (black or dark): Riding helmets are a crucial piece of equipment in and out of the ring, on and off the horse. Show riding helmets are always either black or dark colored and must be ASTM/SEI certified. Advance Technology offers several new styles of riding helmets that provide protection while looking stylish
• Two show jackets (grey, black, or brown): Show jackets are nearly always dark colored, beige, or grey. It is always a good idea to bring at least one extra jacket, just in case your horse decides to demonstrate some affection with a sloppy kiss, or coffee gets spilled on the lapel.
• Three (or more) show shirts/ratcatchers plus choker: Tailored Sportsman has several styles that wick away moisture and provide a comfortable fit while looking stylish. The Edwards, Beckett, and Morrison show shirts are an affordable addition to your wardrobe. Most show shirts come with two-button choker collars.
• Collar pins & Stock ties: be sure to bring these items. They don’t take up much space, but they are necessary components of your wardrobe.
• Three pairs of breeches or jodhpurs: Show breeches are generally light colored or white, as in the case of dressage. Breeches come in several styles and cuts. They can be full seat, low rise, front zip, pull on, or side zip. Tuffrider’s CoolMax LowRise show circuit breeches provide fit, comfort, and style at an affordable price. The low rise cut is the most popular in and out of the show ring this season, with its more natural feel and increased freedom of movement over more traditional styles. Just don’t forget to bring a belt, whatever style is chosen.
• Tall black riding boots (field or dress): Ovation finalist PRO boots look great in the ring and are available from The Equestrian Corner at an excellent price. The Equestrian Corner has many styles of horse riding boots on sale now, making this a good time to replace a worn-out pair, or to buy an extra pair for future use.

Other items that should be part of any show wardrobe guide include gloves, spurs, a crop, extra socks, hair nets, hair ties, bobby pins, safety pins, rain gear, a lint roller, a sewing kit, and a basic first aid kit, just in case.

Tuffrider show coats are designed to showcase the rider. It’s very important how you look and carry yourself in the saddle. Many times it is the first impression judges have of you. You can turn it in sitting tall in the saddle and show off confidence and attitude. A worsted wool in a herringbone weave is traditional, classic, and will create an outstanding reputation. Match the show coat with equally dashing riding gloves for full maximum effect.
