do i have to wear a stock/tie for unaffiliated showjumping?

[Misty B6]

Hello,
I'm entering my very first unaffiliated showjumping next week and I have this shirt: http://www.robinsonsequestrian.com/...or-show/shirts/equi-theme-sky-polo-shirt.html but i have no idea whether i need to wear a stock with it? I've been looking at a lot of other forum posts about this sort of thing, and it seems that you are allowed to wear whatever you like but i'm wondering what most people tend to wear as i don't want to stick out!
Thank you

I'm no expert but to be on the safe side I would wear a stock. You can always take it off if you feel overdressed. Venues seem to vary a bit - some people wearing tracksuit bottoms etc..., - I would go smart as imho better to be too smart than not smart enough.

you don't have to wear a stock with that shirt for SJ - for UA or BS. You'll find the majority of people will wear a stock shirt like yours.

I wear that style of top for both BS and UA showjumping. Looks smart enough and I'm paranoid about looking smart. As long as you do the top stud up, I've seen people not bother and it makes my teeth itch :wink3:

I wear a techical jacket and zip it up to cover up the lack of shirtness lol. Really depends on the venue. In this area at most venues you would be ok with dark jods and no jacket.
