Show
Attire Guidelines
LCHA utilizes the rulebook
of the American Quarter Horse Association in conducting
all shows. The following guidelines regarding appropriate
show attire have been taken from the 2010 AQHA Rule
Book:
English:
In all English classes, riders should wear hunt coats
of traditional colors such as navy, dark green, grey,
black or brown. Maroon and red are improper. Breeches
are to be of traditional shades of buff, khaki, canary,
light grey or rust (or jodhpurs), with high English
boots or paddock (jodhpur) boots of black or brown.
Black, navy blue or brown hard hat (with harness for
youth in any over fence classes) is mandatory. A tie
or choker is required. Gloves, spurs of the unrowelled
type that are blunt, round or that include a smooth
rolling rubber ball and no longer than one inch and
crops and bats are optional. Hair must be neat and contained
(as in net or braid). Judges must penalize contestants
who do not conform. (AQHA Handbook, 2010, p. 53/274)
