If its unaff you can probably get away with it if it looks like you're doing a riding class afterwards but otherwise not really. You can wear a waist coat instead of tweed though. Black or no gloves (Ive been told off for wearing gloves before but I prefer to in case of tanking off episodes) - riding hat is ok, I use mine to show the horse in hand coz she explodes from time to time Smart trousers and shoes/boots you can run in - if its outside make sure theyve got grip (I always fall over on corners )

Long sleeved shirt and a tie plus put your hair in a net too. Go into it thinking positive - you never know who you'll be competing against. Showing is such a funny discipline - I took my horse inhand showing to get her out before we start stressaging and we won beating horses with 'proper' breeding and experience, mostly I think because she grew about three inches and had a LOT of impulsion lol I could barely hang on at times!!

When I started showing I looked at the showing magazines online and got some ideas - its all very well someone telling you what to wear but its always better to see it to get a better idea

Good luck and have fun - would love to hear how you get on
