#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#If you're showing schooling shows, then the colour of your outfit doesn't matter. I see lots of people in black jackets and white shirts.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#You dont' need a breastplate or anything like that, but it does seem that most hunters wear a standing martingale...however, my thing is, why would you put unneccessary equipment on your horse if they don't need it?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#But as I said, showing schooling show is much more simplistic, I know it gets much more nit-picky as you progress though. However, most schooling shows expect you to have your horse braided for hunter (although tail isn't necessary-but I think it looks nice), wear a jacket, no chaps, tall boots unless you are a child, then you can wear paddock boots, white shaped saddle pad, and now leg gear. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I'm in Hamilton, and there you can go to places like the Ancaster Saddle Club, Touch N' Go, the Hamilton HuntClub, Black's Equine Center, Twinholm, Milestone Stables...the list goes on. I myself have been to ASC, HHC, BEC and MS.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
