Show Season Check List: For the Rider

Every year, beginners and experienced riders alike all come into the shop with the same basic goal: to get show clothing. Some people need head to toe outfitting. Others just a new shirt or pants. Whatever you need and at whatever level you ride- here is list of all of the major essential items you should have for the show. Things to remember: show attire doesn't necessarily have to be the most expensive, but it does need to fit properly and be clean and presentable. Also remember- there are no dumb questions! Show clothing and accessories change each and every year... it gets confusing! If you have show clothing now that you aren't sure fits or not, just bring it in for us to look at. We won't try to sell you something you don't need!
