Lesson Apparel:
*Correct apparel for horse shows is listed to avoid double purchases for riders who may wish to compete as their skills progress.
*ASTM/SEI Approved riding helmet. Schooling helmets start at $30. These helmets must be replaced after a fall because the inner foam may be cracked, compromising the integrity, even if the outer shell remains intact. If the rider may want to compete, a show helmet is recommended. Schooling helmets are not appropriate for horse shows.
*Hair: Hairnets are available at tack shops under $4. Place hairnet at hairline on forehead. Secure all hair under net. For long hair, follow previous directions, then gather hair into a pony tail at nape of neck and fasten with a hair band with the hairnet. Tuck pony tail (hair and net) up back of head. While holding pony tail up, place helmet on head back to front to keep pony tail in place.
*Braids are permitted for lessons and schooling if all hair can be restrained.
*English paddock boots. Children under 14 may wear brown paddock boots, (ankle high lace, pull on, or zip) for shows with beige or tan jodhpurs. Adults and children over 14 must wear black field boots, (knee high with ankle laces) and beige or tan breeches for shows. For lessons or schooling black or brown paddock boots and riding tights in a conservative color are permitted. Heron Creek Farm does not permit neon or print tights. Half chaps or full chaps are recommended for intermediate/advanced riders who do not ride in tall boots.
*Shirts, sweaters, and jackets should fit close to the body to show position to instructor.
*Gloves are recommended in cold weather. For shows, match boot color.
