"When dressing to compete in English riding events, having all the right clothes can make a real difference. You want to begin with having a pair of basic riding pants, usually a beige color with knee patches. You should also have tall boots. A belt. A show shirt like this, long sleeve is best, your shirt should also have a collar and a nice touch can be to have the front of the collar embroidered like this. You also need to have a basic dark riding coat, navy blue or dark gray is usually the best choice. You also will want to have a safe riding helmet, it should be black and velvet and you also want to have hair nets to keep your hair neat and tidy underneath the helmet. And a last thing would be to have a nice pair of black gloves."
