I'm just curious to what other people wear two shows, Unaff or aff.

Nevada wears (affiliated showjumping)

Tri zone tendon and fetlock boots

John whitaker grey fly veil

John whitaker grey velvet saddle cloth

Black country GP saddle

Ariona bridle with kimblewick and pink equine bling browband

martingale

posh blue rug (travelling and in between classes)

And I wear

John whitaker pinstripe Jacket

Blaze or musto stock shirt without stock

Shires white jhods (sp?)

Ariat Jhodpur (sp?) boots

Black leather gaiter things. I think they are mountain horse

Champion ventair hat

Airowear outyline body protector

Leather SSG breast cancer gloves

Pink snowbee whip/ Kyra K jumping whip

and a blue jacket for warming up with.


So what do you and your horse(s) wear?
 
When i was out jumping aff with my mare she wore
Sabre bridle and breastplate
Ideal Grandee saddle
Eskadon tendon and fetlock boots
John Whittaker fly thing sometimes
I had a custom browband with a small brass plate on with her show name on, looked classier than it sounds.
She had a Colin Cook Thumalux rug for winter and a Nag Rag cooler if needed in the summer, both in black with purple.
Black saddle cloth with her name on in purple
Me
Some make of black show jacket
John Whittaker short sleeve shirt
Equitech white breeches
Sarm Hippique leather boots
Rockei gloves
GPA hat.

I am a all the gear no idea person i think! :D
 
For dressage (unaffliated), I wear:

Black CO Whitaker hat (I think they are called Wellington Classic now),
Miku Designs show shirt that I got from Canada
Shires stock tie (white) with a gold horseshoe stock pin I won at my first ever horse show 21 years ago!
Black Caldene jacket
Barbour creme full seat breeches
Ariat field boots
White leather gloves
Antique side saddle whip with a horse leg carved into it.
Pink bling spurs.

For jumping (unaffliated), I wear the same hat, boots and shirt (but this time with a choker, not a stock) but change my jacket to a navy blue Mears one and my breeches are greeny-beige side zip ones from Equine Couture as I'm from Canada and that's the color you wear when you do hunter/jumpers.

For side saddle, I wear the same helmet, shirt + stock but wear brown Good Hands gloves and wear my Aigle rubber riding boots as my Ariats come up too high for side saddling. I don't know who made my habit as it's a vintage one. I use my antique side saddle whip too. One pink bling spur :)

For jumping and dressage, Hattie uses the same tan tack, A Barnsby USA Hunter bridle and a Classic Saddlery close contact saddle as I HATE riding in dressage saddles. I just add a Treadstone running martingale and a pair of Sabre jumping boots when we're jumping. I have a white fleecy Masta shaped numnah that I save for shows. I just use the same bit (full cheek french link snaffle for everything).
hattie is fast enough for jumping so don't need a crop or spurs when we do this.

For side saddle, I have a brown Horsemaster bridle from the USA and then my Champion & Wilton side saddle paired up with a riser numnah.

Sheesh, looking at the this, no wonder my OH moans about how much stuff I have!!

Can you remember where you got that made? I have searched for a browband like that for YEARS! But as far as name browbands go have only ever found ones where the names are spelled out in crytals :(

I got it from a trade stand at Hickstead many moons ago, i think about 10 years ago now. They had them or ones that you could get cast in brass (or brass plated cant remember) but they werent cheap. I think i paid about £15 for the browband and plate.
I havent seen the stand at Hickstead for a long time so have no idea if they are still about or who they are. They used to name plates for headcollars as well and did it there and then. Not much help really.
It might be worth getting a plain flat browband and going to an engravers and see if they can get a plate to fit and do it that way.

Euro star jods.
Ariat Insulated H20 boots.
GPA Xtreme hat.
SSG gloves, then Seal Skinz gloves later when it got too cold.

Horse (very minimal tack):

Plain GFS cavesson bridle.

Stubben girth.
Stephens sheepskin lined saddlecloth.
Eskadron tendon & fetlock boots.
