Western Events

Rider:

• Riders should wear a well-fitted, long-sleeved Western shirt in solid colors or subtle patterns.

• A properly fitted Western hat is a traditional and essential component of the attire. If green or untrained horse, Riders are needed to wear a helmet for safety reasons. HATS ARE NOT JUDGED DUE TO THIS REASON.

• Choose either well-fitted, clean denim jeans or Western-style pants. Chaps or chinks, if worn, should coordinate with the overall look.

• Western-style boots with a modest heel are required. Ensure they are clean and in good condition.

• A Western hat is a mandatory element of the attire. Helmets can be worn, especially by youth riders, in accordance with safety regulations.

Horse:

• Any black or brown bridle, if you must wear noseband, that is okay.

• Any black or brown western saddle.

• Any coloured saddle pad. 

• Any leg wraps are allowed if wanted.

• Horses should be well-groomed with a neatly brushed mane and tail. Braiding is optional.
