DRESS
CODE
CORRECT,TRADITIONAL
ATTIRE IS A MUST,SO FOR THE NEWCOMERS,WE THOUGHT THAT A “RECOMMENDED
DRESS CODE ”WOULD BE INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL.
Produced
for the A.H.S.by Arabian-Link in association with Caroline Nelson,Stephanie
Turner and
Stuart Fleming.Sept.2002.
During
the class,Ladies should wear a neat collar and tie with either
a Tweed or a Navy Blue Jacket,lemon (not yellow)Breeches and
Boots,Leather gloves and a leather-covered Show Cane (not
a dressage schooling whip) should be carried.
See Pic 1 which shows a Lady rider in Tweed and collar and
tie,here pictured with the immaculate Gentleman Judge modelling
correctly the outfit worn during the class. In this instance
the Gentleman Judge has removed his Bowler for the Rosette
presentation. |

2 depicts the only alternative Dress for the Lady during the
class.Navy Blue Jacket,Velvet Hunt Cap,‘collar &tie
’,again neat leather gloves and showing cane. A silk
hat and hunting stock should NOT be worn in the class.It would
be in order to wear a hat with discreet safety harness,if
desired.Please note the plain (not ‘show pony ’)browband
on the Arabian. |
| And
now for those lucky ones who reach the Championship!There
are two alternatives for Ladies and two for Gentlemen. The
Lady must wear a ‘low-crown ’ Silk Top Hat..This
is accompanied by a Navy Blue ‘cutaway ’ Jacket,waistcoat
(not brightly coloured),and a well-tied Hunting Stock in white
or a pale pastel colour (not polka dot!).Lemon breeches (not
white or yellow).Again, leather gloves and show cane complete
the ensemble. |

6 -Gentlemen do have the alternative of wearing full “Morning
Dress ” -- which consists of collar and tie, Waistcoat,
Black Morning Coat and proper Riding Trousers made for
the purpose.Black (Jodhpur-type) boots are worn
|
There are
no alternatives to the above. Hunt Dress, or any amalgam of the
above is incorrect and will be frowned upon.
Our
grateful thanks to all our models,both human and equine (and to
their kind owners) without whom this guide could not have been compiled.N.B.All
the equine models have retired from competition.One rider has been
digitally imposed onto another rider ’s horse.
