What is the correct dress for an ex racehorse class? I am hoping to do one on saturday and also a veteran ex racehorse class. I haven't done one before but thought I should give the boy a trip out. He doesn't look too bad for 22 does he?

Jacket and hat is fine (tweed jacket would be ideal) collar and tie rather than stock, show cane and brown gloves.
He'd be better in a plain snaffle or ideally double/pelham if he goes in one.
Smart hunting gear tho - love your saddle!
Looks like he's having fun - the sort of picture to treasure!
 
Good luck at your show. Yep tweedy, shirt and tie, buff or yellow breaches and long booties.


I'm sure look great as you look nicely turned out in the photo of your local hunt, lovely horse too however the horse that is to the left (on the photo) looks like its possed by the devil...the expression on his/her face looks like its about to murder someone or get its own back on his/her mount ...classic!
