Tradition is very strong in the horse world and show riders need to wear white, cream or beige breeches.

In addition the clothes are very durable and can often be passed on to a younger member of the family. Show shirts and jackets are also part of the turn out and must fit properly so the child is not distracted or made to feel uncomfortable.
