Im going to start showing hunter/jumper in IHSA, am I missing anything on this list
Okay, here's what I have so far (starting at head)...
IRH ATH helmet
Hair net
White show shirt (with 2 interchangeable collars)
Dark blue jacket
Black crochet riding gloves
Dark tan jodphurs
Used black tall boots
Boot socks
Boot pull-on thingies
Boot pull-off thingy
Anything else?
Collar pin?
Is it okay to wear earrings?
Boot polish/ other care stuff (suggestions appreciated)?
Thanks
Answers:You can wear earrings although at many local shows I have rarely seen people doing so. I've heard from some top competitors that they swear by a lucky pair of pearls or something absurd on the other hand! If you do wear them, go for something classic and subtle like small diamond studs or pearls. Nothing too big or over 1/2 carat. I also wear a small dress watch with a leather band, it sits under my sleeve but I always want to know the time...
Stock Pin is a nice finishing touch, even on a choker collar/collar neck "show" shirt. (not called a ratcatcher, despite postings I've read on this forum)
Polish is of utmost importance. I probably only think this because I'm married to a military officer but we are religious about polish. If you live near an urban area (like New York City or Stamford, CT) there are a great number of shoe polishers who will give you a nice spit shine for $5-$10. I also find most airports have them too.
