Horse Show Clothing- out of style?

By admin on Mar. 7, 2010.

ok so I show my horse in flat and over fences and people have been saying that a black show jacket is out of style! is it? and will the judges be taking points off because of it in some classes?

Black show jackets are out of style for hunter classes. For hunter classes, blue is the most in-style color for show jackets right now. Grey is acceptable but blue is best.

The judge won’t take off points for a black jacket.. that’s like a school teacher giving you a C because she didn’t like the way you came dressed to school that day! As long as you dress professionally it’s ok… but blue is much more in style right now.

can anyone tell me big companies interested in buying horse blankets,chaps.,and other horse clothing.?

By admin on Mar. 4, 2010.

State Line Tack is probably the nation’s largest retailer of equestrian equipment. They buy a LOT of blankets, chaps, and pretty much everything else related to horses.

Name of clothing company with horse/dragon like horse as symbol on shirts?

Clothes Horse: time lapse clothing creation for Second Life

By admin on Feb. 24, 2010.

*~CH~* Pin-Up Girl- Valentine
by Claire Harford (second life resident)

This is not meant to be a “tutorial” with step-by-step instructions on how to go about replicating the design. It’s more like a showcase of just how much work and fiddling goes in to designs. I am a big fan of time lapse videos so I thought I’d capture one of my own creations taking shape.

This outfit was made over the course of a day and took roughly eight hours to complete.

Tools used:
Photoshop- for the painting
Camstudio- for the screen recording
FRAPS- for in-world recording
Sony Vegas- for post processing
Soundtrack- Fiona Apple: Slow Like Honey

A big thank you goes to Abu Nasu and his TechSlop wiki… hopefully this demonstrates just how much I rely on his Photoshop goodies to pull off this level of detail.:)

Horse Show Clothing?

By admin on Feb. 17, 2010.

Hi,
I was wondering does anyone know what you would wear to show in these class’s I have never shown before except at home and like home shows thier very easy going..
This is a Local Schooling Show.. I can not find anything on their websight about clothing
www.pwha.net

The class’s are:
12. Novice Horse Hunter – Under Saddle Walk/Trot
13. Novice Horse Hunter – Over Fences, 18" – Course A-
14. Novice Horse Hunter – Equitation Over Fences, 18"’ – Course B
15. Novice Rider Hunter – Under Saddle
16. Novice Rider Hunter – Over Fences, 18" – Course A
17. Novice Rider Hunter – Equitation Over Fences 18" – Course

As far as tack I just purchased a new Saddle Pad, Leather lead with chain,
Clothing: I have a pair of breeches, Paddock boots (black), Black Chaps, White Button up shirt.. Good Condition Saddle, girth, Newer Bridle, New bit, Is their any rules on what type of bit you can use. I use a kimberwick bit my horse loves it but is it illegal because I have another bit.
I did go to the USEF but everytime I tried to open rules for Hunter, Hunter under saddle. Jumper they were all in a different language no matter what I chose for a language..
I do have a helmet cover sorry forgot about it. I do have black gloves. I dont like riding in them but will try and ride in them all this month so when I have to show in them we will be fine. As far as black crop I dont have but I have dressage whip. I know I should have crop but I have a bright purple one.. lol a gift for b-day wasn’t what I would of picked out but. I don’t really need a crop I dont thing even though horse is a little lazy picking up trot.. she can be really forward or really slow never just good. if you want to see my show clothing that I have so far my websight is photobucket.com/britecheerio
The first over fence class is only aloud at a trot and the second one is optional at trot or canter.. I just deleted the exact details due to space restriction

If you’re going to wear halfchaps, they should be the ones that look like the tall-boot leather, and should be polished and shined as such. Here’s an example in case you don’t know what I’m talking about:
http://www.doversaddlery.com/product.asp?pn=X1-35125
Field boots are preferable, but since it’s just a schooling show, it shouldn’t be a big deal if the half chaps and your boots are clean, polished, and shiny.
Your girth and bridle should be the same color as your saddle.
A proper show shirt comes with a stock-tie, so if you just got a regular dress shirt, you have to go get a real show shirt, preferably white.
You don’t need a stock pin, but it’s pretty much the only jewelry you can add to the outfit besides small earrings (small pearls and gold studs are the most popular).
If you can’t find rules on bits, bring several with you to the show and ask a show steward before you school your horse.
As long as the helmet isn’t brightly colored and isn’t a schooling helmet, it should be fine. You don’t HAVE to get something velvet, IRH helmets are fine (many in my circuit wear Charles Owens and IRH ATH helmets).
You didn’t really need to get another lead… since none of your classes are in-hand.
So let’s see, starting at the head…
Helmet, preferably black.
Hairnet, matching your hair color.
Small earrings, pearl or gold studs, optional.
Dark show coat, preferably black or navy blue.
Show shirt and detachable collar- preferably white and long-sleeved.
Stock pin optional- gold.
Black gloves- you usually see leather, but black crochet is fine.
Khaki breeches
Black or brown leather belt
Boots- field boots best (need bootsocks if not zip-up), black paddock boots and fine-grain half-chaps okay.

And have you thought about getting your horse there? and horse care supplies and keeping him cool and calm?
There’s a TON of stuff you need for caring for your horse at a show. If you need to know any of that stuff, post another question.

Need a place online to sell gently used horse tack and clothing.?

By admin on Feb. 15, 2010.

i need a place online that i could sell gently used horse tack and show clothes.
thanks!

Ebay is great sometimes, but I haven’t had much luck with things selling there recently. I actually found someone to buy my saddle on http://www.tacktrader.com , which is pretty much just like dreamhorse but for tack, clothing, etc. Pretty much anything horse-related that isn’t an actual horse.

Craigslist (as everyone else has said) is also a good option. Ebay is too… as long as someone actually bids on your stuff. I’ve listed a pair of breeches and a protective vest three times with no luck.
