Hunter Princess Blog Hop- Your Ideal Show Outfit

Part 3 of the Hunter Princess Blog Hop: if money was no object what would your show outfit wish list be.

For me I show frequently and compete at A rated shows so I do try to look nice.  I am on a budget so I try to find items on sale and take care of them so they last.  I don't really have a "wish list."  I like the things I have and don't really drool of the things I can't afford.  Even if I could afford them I don't see the point in spending that kind of money.

First I LOVE my GPA speed air helmet.  It keeps me cool living in hot humid FL and it's comfy.

In non money classes I wear a nice polo shirt.  In the classics I wear a show shirt.  All of mine are Essex brand.  Farm House Tack Shop is awesome for having great sales on them.

I'm still switching over to the new snap collars.  I have a hard time justifying getting new shirts when there is nothing wrong with the ones I own.  I tend to stick with pastel colors.  Lots of pinks, blues, and yellow.  I wear a white shirt for my larger money classes.

I love Marigold show jackets.  They are comfy and I love their colors. I typically choose a navy color.

But if we are talking money is no object I wouldn't mind an Alessandro Albanese custom coat.

For breeches I only wear Tailored Sportsman.  I have both front and side zip.

If money were no object I would probably try a pair of Pikeurs.

For belts I like bling.  My trainer hates it so my goal is to try and find barrel racer big buckle bling and make her roll her eyes at me.

I supposed if I chose to be more conservative I like the Tailored Sportsman belts.

And for boots I have custom Vogels.  I really wouldn't choose anything else.

Here's my getup.

 

Lastly I also believe in proper turn out whether it be in the show ring or schooling.  My biggest pet peeve is looking sloppy.  Tuck in your shirt and wear a belt.  If you are schooling at a show, wear a collared shirt.  But ALWAYS look clean and neat.
