Clothing and attire

Share this page

When members attend our rallies and activities its important to wear the correct clothing. Each riding discipline has its own dress code. Whether you’re doing dressage, show jumping, or cross-country, follow the guidelines. Consistency is our middle name (well, not really, but you get the point).

Remember, safety and respect for the sport and fellow riders are paramount. So, saddle up, put on your best breeches, and let’s ride! 🏇🌟
