Ridden classes
- Tweed jacket
- Beige or canary jodhpurs or breeches
- Long boots if over 16, and short boots with jodhpur clips if under 16 or riding small breeds (regardless of age)
- Hat:
- depends on the show. Some shows specify current safety standards and chinstrap to be done up, others don’t.
- Velvet hat or skull cap with velvet cover.
- Most affiliated M&M classes do require specific hat standards, regardless of the individual show’s policy
- Hairnets if hair is long or untidy
- Shirt and tie:
- discreet tie to match or compliment jacket.
- no stocks
- shirt – plain white, coloured or striped
- Waistcoats – optional
- Brown or black plain gloves
- Show cane – correct but not compulsory. Brown or black to match outfit
In-hand classes
- Trousers are preferable to jodhpurs or breeches — dark or black if horse has light legs, and beige or light if horse has dark legs. This is so the horse’s and rider’s look separate
- Shirt and tie like ridden classes
- Waistcoat or tweed jacket
- Hat – either ‘cowboy style’ hat or riding hat. Can wear velvet hat with no straps, but offers less protection than a crash hat, which if worn must be done up. NB: you would never get penalised for wearing a proper hat
- Jodhpur boots or discreet trainers of a similar colour to the trousers should be worn
- Gloves – same as ridden classes
- Show cane – same as ridden classes
- Highlands – (especially if in Scotland) – tartan trousers or kilt are preferable
