Equestrian Attire

For those of you who are confused about what tack to wear while riding.... Here's the solution. I'm going to go through the different riding attire for each style of riding. English and Western. 

Western:

For the western type of riding you will need comfortable western riding clothes. The Different clothes you can wear vary from Huge belt buckles, Cowboy shirts to leather boots, to some plain jeans and a shirt. these give you the freedom to move around as usual to complete the task at hand and to express your personal style. The attire changes, Of course, If you are competing. For a show you'll use a show shirt or  a blouse, tucked in to some pair of neat jeans with a Western hat on your head. Your tack will be relatively the same ( except this time the tack will be clean and newly polished of course :D ) The shows might include; Reining, Roping and a Rodeo.


English:

Right. for the english style of riding, You will need Comfortable yet suitable riding clothes. These include the High riding boots (leather or rubber), Breeches ( Jodpurs) A Polo shirt ( although it can be a random shirt.) and A helmet. You can also choose to wear Gloves, A crop or whip, and spurs depending on the horse you're riding. The clothes don't change much for the shows, apart from Having to wear  WHITE breeches only, A riding suit and a show shirt (a chocker or a polo). Stating the obvious , you will be required to use a helmet in every competition. The tack is generally a Black bridle and saddle on top  a white saddle pad. The show might be; Show Jumping, Dressage ( In which you are required to use a top hat instead of a helmet) and Cross country, or a Hunter under saddle class all though there are many more.
