What is your opinion of the show outfit you have to wear?

For us in the Saddlebred world, I think they are the dumbest things I've ever seen. I'm not sure why everyone has to get dressed in men's suits in the middle of summer and there really is no safety measure to it. Other disciplines use hard hats at least in case they fall off. We were a felt hat that will flatten upon being landed on.

I have been thinking about this for a very long time as to how ridiculous our suits are not to mention outrageously expensive. Any other thoughts?

The outfit we have to wear is a 3 piece man's suit with a felt hat and a tie lol Look at the picture that says JC Oshkosh or Buck Almighty. Also the one with the horse in the buggy Buck Be a Lady has a picture of the trainer in the riding suit.; ▶ Reply to This
