I am going to my first fair in a couple of months and I was wondering what I should wear to the classes: Mini Hunter, Mini Halter, Mini Showmanship, Normal Showmanship, speed and a Mini and normal color class. Any help would be appreciated, links would be awesome.

I’d get tall boot like these for any English riding especially for the Hunter show ring and Ariat are my fav boots since the feel great molded to my feet well and quick, Tredsteps are very nice looking and I believe they feel very nice and if you want to pay top dollar you can buy Parlentis. Middle rugs are nice too as I’ve owned a pair or two. I’ve put links to the best ones of those four brands. Yes i know tall boots are very expensive but they are required for English riders twelve and up.

Thank you, but I am a frequent English shower and already have top English stuff I looking for more westerny for The Miniature Show and such. If this helps it's a county Fair.

Ok I donÂ’t really know any western stuff so yeah. IÂ’ll try to find some cool stuff though :)

Thanks, I am super clueless and feel kind of stupid that I didn't figure this out sooner.

I donÂ’t have links, but if you have a Wilco near you, they usually have black q baby jeans. They are the best. And the judges would prefer if you had black jeans while doing western classes. Boots donÂ’t matter, as your jeans cover most of them. And any type of helmet/black hat is fine. I just use a blue or purple shoe shirt from Wilco or one so I had gotten from clubs. But the shirts donÂ’t really matter. IÂ’ve seen people just wear flannels

What do you mean by show shirt and do you know if the judges prefer skinny or boot cut jeans.

I've done a little bit of showmanship at the county level. I do big horses, and 1 pony, but same attire. If you look up a video on YouTube of one of the latest 'world' champions from the AQHA world show in showmanship, you'll find a great example. They want boot cut jeans, a nice looking hat, and a shirt that fits well, sparkles, and looks comfortable. It all needs to match. I haven't shown enough to know certain brands, but Wrangler jeans are pretty comfortable and durable. You can also go to places like Ross, Old Navy, and Wal-Mart to find jeans on a budget. I've gotten white jeans for showing dairy cattle at old navy on clearance for as low as $2! White is not popular around here. I'm planning on buying my first really nice looking shirt on Ebay. I know what material I want and how I want it to look and have found a bunch of great options. Just search Women's Western Showmanship Shirt and you should find something to at least help you get an idea of the style you want. As for boots, the 2 pairs I have owned that were off brand were great. The Ariats I got were crap. Only owned 3 pairs, so off brand has been my best, but I need size 11 boots, so it's hard to find something that fits in a popular brand that isn't ugly and isn't crazy expensive.

Thank you, that helps a lot
