Riding - smart casual?

[rforsyth1984]

I'm going on a fun ride tomorrow, organised by a local drag hunt. The advert says 'smart casual - No jackets required'

What would you take this to mean? I don't want to get it wrong and look scruffy or OTT!

I have no idea, I'm sorry, however if it is like smart casual in any other event it is safer to overdress (then remove anything "too smart" if you can).

I would say it means a nice smart pair of jods, boots, and a sensible shirt/top. I think they mean no jeans etc.

Agree with the smart jods, shiney boots and a tidy top, perhaps a coordinating body warmer if weather not too hot.......

Nice polo shirt, cream jods and boots will look casual but at at the same time very smart, clean tack and numnah.

Have fun

I agree with Kenzo.

I always ride smart casual.... infact even when I had the horse and was mucking out, I would always wear colour coordinating clothing - green jods, yellow "joules" t-shirt, green and yellow patterned socks and matching fleece!!

I think I would wear light coloured jods, smart t-shirt and matching smart fleece/body warmer or summer jacket, and shiney long boots or smart chaps.

Thanks everyone! I have picked up a nice (white!

) riding T shirt thats a bit smarter than my usual old T-shirts, and will wear my beige breeches and black long boots. Woooooo cant wait!
