Rider Jacket Vest

What apparel for horse and rider is required for a open show in equitation?

I'm going to be going to a open show soon and need some help on what to wear. Is it okay to just wear my breeches and half caps? I don't have the field boots(cant really afford them) but I have some Saxon paddock boots. Will they work with my half chaps? Also do I need a jacket or can i wear some other show clothes( i have a rhinestone vest/ shirt?

As for my horse will a square all purpose saddle pad work? Mine is periwinkle so do I need a white one? This is my first English show so please help!!

P.s. I do know how to ride English just not the proper attire for a show. Thanks!!:D

It depends on the show. Local shows are less formal than recognized shows. I'd suggest calling the show secretary and asking.

Are your riding hunt seat or saddle seat? For hunt seat:

Formal shows require boots, helmet, riding jacket, breeches. Gloves, hairnets, stocks, stock pins are preferred. For equitation, one generally uses a white numnah type pad - it's cut the same shape as the saddle.

Less formal shows you will probably be okay with what you have, plus a jacket. Getting a used ladies sports coat would be better than your rhinestone vest. Some extremely informal shows you'll be fine with just a shirt with collar and cuffs.

Good Luck at your show!
