Show jumping

Breeches and jodhpurs should be white, pale yellow or fawn and fit the styling of your overall outfit. Traditionally tailored jackets are worn, in darker colours (black, navy, green, brown, burgundy, grey or red), but there is a modern trend towards the use of lighter colours.

What do you wear for unaffiliated showjumping?

Well-Known Member. I would go for the black jacket with a plain stock or the collar. Save the shirt and tie for the days you want to wear the tweed if you want to be really correct. Tweed or black/navy is perfectly acceptable.

What do you wear to an equestrian show?

Do you plait for show jumping?

Thankfully, this means no (or little) thinning, trimming, pulling or plaiting. For the rest of us however, plaits are a must, whether you're taking part in in-hand showing, or ridden showing. And although it isn't mandatory to plait your horse for show jumping, dressage or eventing, it is usually the done thing!

Do Showjumpers wear body protectors?

Body protectors are not mandatory in show jumping competitions, aside from wearing helmets, because no significant research has been able to prove that the use of a body protector will reduce injury. Helmets are proven to reduce brain and head injuries and are strictly enforced in all show jumping competitions.

What side should a horse's mane be plaited on?

Generally, the mane laying on the right or offside is considered correct. If you pleasure ride or show in low-level shows, which side your horse's mane lies on may not matter. At higher level shows, where good turnout is essential, your horse's mane should lie smoothly on the right side of its neck.

What side should Horses plaits be on?

Plaits should always be on the right side of the horse, so if the mane is not yet on this side, use a comb and mane and tail detangler spray to brush it over. Once this is done, comb through the mane with a little water and separate into an odd number of sections, from 9-13.
