Dress for hack show classes?
      #3491381 - 06/09/2008 21:07

Setting out to buy new wardrobe for us both for next year (maybe winter woolies) would like to do race horse to riding horse classes with qualifiers (she is small hack type) what dress do you guys suggest for the two of us? Pictures appreciated.

There are still show reports in H&H at this time of year, so have a look there.

To the best of my knowledge all the riders wear navy jackets with a dark tie, the horses wear a quite fine double bridle (raised noseband I think) with a velvet browband (could match the tie I suppose). Brown gloves, show cane etc.

Navy jacket, bright tie with cream shirt with well fitting collar, tie pin. Navy hat (either beagler or hat with leather harness), hairnet, brown gloves, brown cane, black boots, canary/cream breeches. Saddle should be a straight cut show saddle which is comfortable for the judge to ride in (make sure your stirrups and leathers are suitable to be used for men as well as women), bridle to suit your horse - not necessarily raised or stitched, but should be brown. Coloured browband to complement the colour of the tie.

Horse should have pulled tail and be trimmed (ears, muzzle, heels etc).
