Answer 1

For you to wear you would need:

- A riding hat (Either a skull cap with blue or black silk or a velvet riding hat)

- White or cream coloured jodphurs

- Hairnet to hold your hair in which you wear under the riding hat

- White shirt

- Blue or black show jacket

- A white tie

- Stock pin to hold the tie

- White gloves

- Black riding boots

Your horse:

- Snaffle bit is the only type usually accepted but you'd have to check with the organisers

- White square numnah, not saddle shaped

- Will need to have mane and tail plaited

- Bridle and saddle will need to be the same colour

I think thats most of what you need. You can find all of that in your local tack shop or on an internet shop.
