No we don't mean the appy horse!
Horse Show classes require certain clothing and
appointments. Always refer to your horse show rules if they are posted.
Horse clothing and tack catalogs, riding magazines
are another good alternative to see what people are wearing.
Whether you ride Western or English all shows, especially 4H
shows require a hard hat ASTM approved if you are 18 years of age and under.

For the English youth Rider
The garter and paddock/short boots are usually worn by the younger riders 13 and under. Older riders will wear full length
boots, younger riders may do the same but are not required to do so.

For the Western Rider
This photo shows a few different ways to dress for the western riding classes. Long sleeved shirts or a knit slinky
are usually worn. Depending on which, you may also add a vest or a western riding jacket. (no jacket shown here).
Gloves are a must in fitting and showmanship and equitation classes, they can be black or tan. A western belt and buckle
and either a pin or a western tie or bolo depending on the shirt. Hair net and ASTM approved helmet in the
riding classes. You can use a western cowboy hat in fitting and showmanship because you are not up on the horse at that
time. A good pair of hard soled boots or cowboy boots complete the outfit. In the riding classes chaps can be
used. Chaps to day come in a variety of styles and color, fringed and not fringed. Check out various looks in riding clothes
catalogs.
