the outfits I've seen at dressage competitions are black breechs, white shirts and black coats, plus helmets.

horses, saddles, pads, some put splint boots on them.

haha, I should proof read before I hit send LOL

I meant black boots!!! white breeches, white shirt, black coat and black helmet.

lol this is why I don't compete. I'd never remember all of this stuff.

Dressage is pretty formal. For levels less than 4th level it's usually White breeches, black or dark navy coat, white shirt with white ascot tie. Black helmet, black tall boots without laces. Black or white gloves. Sunglasses off in the show ring.

Usually a white pad and black tack is on the horses. Only snaffle bits. Splint boots are allowed only around in the warm up area, usually white ones. Crop of a specific length, and they will measure.

Check the USDF website for the specifics. They do allow other colors but typically it's as mentioned above.

Oh, one more thing. Here in Southern California, because it gets hot during show season, they often let you ride without your coat and tie. In that case have at least a short sleeve shirt under your jacket as they frown on sleeveless blouses.

BLACK DRESSAGE coat. No other. White collared long shirt with cross tie(& pin?). White breeches, full seat are best. BLACK Dress boots, WHITE gloves, BLACK velvet helmet.

The horse must be clean. All tack needs to be BLACK.... SADDLE, BRIDLE, REINS. Snaffle bit, WHITE DRESSAGE cut pad, Mane braided and hooves polished. Whip is optional, but you must all ways carry it on the inside hand so the judges can see it. Spurs optional too.

Remember: a well turned out horse and rider make for better scores... SO NO DIRT! LOL! AND.... aways remember to have fun!
