Question on hunter showing?

Question

When you're showing in hunters doesnt the sleeve have to be showing like a 1/4 in. past the show jacket? for some reason I always thought it had to be..or can you wear a short sleeve show shirt with a jacket?

Answer 1

Since its hot whrere I live, I wear short sleeve usually with myh jacket.  But I always bring an extra long sleeve because I have been to shows where it is so hot that they allow you to take your jacket off, but you need a long sleeved shirt.  Some shows have different requrements so I'd ask if you haven't gone to that show before.

Answer 2

It looks better to wear long sleeves, so if you're basing it on appearance, I'd suggest long sleeves. But, you can wear short sleeves if you'd like. Whatever you're most comfortable in.

Answer 3

you don't have to and it doesn't take points off. even though English is supposed to be formal and the same i have seen ppl with colored shirts and stuff that shouldn't be colored on the saddled. i like to wear short sleeve but it is good to have a long sleeve because i recently went to a show that made you wear a long sleeve.

Answer 4

At the lower levels of the hunter world you can wear a short sleeve shirt under your jacket. You will probably not get marked down because those classes are rarely close enough for judges to become that picky. I came in second last year in our local hunter medal class in a short sleeve shirt (not by choice). In the upper levels, yeah I would think it needs to be a long sleeve shirt with 1/4-1/2 and inch showing. I personally like to have long sleeve shirts because I dont think the short sleeve are that much cooler, the long sleeve look better and if jackets are waved you need a long sleeve shirt.

Answer 5

it doesnt have to, but it probably is better

in local shows i just rode in a polo and won lots at the lower level of jumps

but you shouldnt wear a short sleeve in anything big, because if it gets hot (or anything else) and the judges tell you to take your coats off, you absolutely have to have a long sleeved shirt
