TIPS - Make immaculate turnout your priority.
Show jackets that are too short can make a pony’s back appear longer.
Prevent jodphurs riding up by using jodphur clips or sew in some broad elastic that matches the jodphur boots.
Long boots should be worn as far up to the knee as will still allow free movement, not calf length. Garter straps should be worn pointing out, they are not worn with dressage boots. Spurs (including dummy spurs) should be worn in all adult classes except for Intermediates and M&Ms.
When choosing trousers for the in-hand classes, it is better for the judge to see the horse’s movement if you wear a dark pair if your horse has light coloured legs and a pale coloured pair if the legs are dark.
Keep wet wipes in your grooming kit when you are waiting to enter your class, they have many uses including; a last minute boot clean when it’s dusty, children’s grubby faces, gloves, ponies noses and eyes, dark knees and hocks, bottoms.
To secure your number use elastic that matches your jacket and tie loops at each end to go over the waist height button on the front of your jacket.
