Great Horses and Fabulous Southern Hospitality Prevail at Jackson
The Championship Stake class winner was Puttin’ Cash On The Line with Tim Smith up for the Tommy Jowers family.
JACKSON, MS – The 82nd Annual Mississippi Charity Horse Show was held on March 29-30, 2012, at the Kirk Fordice Equine Center in Jackson, MS. The charity selected again for this year’s show was Blair E. Batson Hospital For Children. Honorary Show Chairman Benny Thompson said a few words about the charity to help inform everyone regarding the wonderful work done at this outstanding hospital. The Mississippi is one of the longest running shows and happens to be the Page 10 / The Scoop
show that has everyone excited about the beginning of show season. This year’s show had 400 talented horses make the gate call. Judging this year’s 72 class event were the Honorable Chris Bobo from Shelbyville, TN, the Honorable Steve Beam from Arab, AL, the Honorable Gene ‘Smokey’ Carswell from Morehead, KY, the Honorable Paul Livingston from Church Hill, TN, and the Honorable Jeff Willis from Belfast, TN. The announcer for weekend was Tommy Williams; the always wonderful
organist was Mr. Larry Bright; and the photographer was Shane Shiflet. The show was affiliated with SHOW HIO. Stables taking multiple blue ribbons back to their respective barns and their proud owners were: Joe Fleming Stables, 8; Laurie Toone Stables, 8; Formac Stables, 7; David Landrum Stables, 6; Pioneer Stables, 6; Charlie Green Stables, 4; Joe Cotten Stables, 4; Knox Blackburn Stables, 4; Abernathy Stables, 4; Hannah Pulvers Stables, 4; Winky Groover Stables, 3; Link Webb Stables, 3; Mickey
mississippi charity horse show McCormick Stables, 2; 5 Way Farms, 2. The Mississippi Charity Horse Show has always been the epitome of southern hospitality and this year was no exception. Not only known for the quality of horses, trainers, owners and spectators, the loaded breakfast buffet, the after parties and the crawfish boil are second to none! Each morning in the show ring, a loaded breakfast buffet awaits all participants. There was something to please everyone’s tastes as they ate and watched the morning workouts of the horses. Thursday evening’s Margarita Party was again sponsored by Jimmy and Carol Lackey. Roasted whole pig and other delights, including great margaritas, were a wonderful treat. Friday night owners and exhibitors enjoyed more great food and a live band. Saturday noon is the fun event everyone looks forward to – the crawfish boil!!! This “chow down” is sponsored by Robert Taylor. Following the crawfish boil, a live auction is held that always includes some really nice items. This year Jackson had a very special guest, Cindy Hyde-Smith. Cindy is the first elected female Commissioner of Agriculture in the state of Mississippi. Cindy and her family are cattle farmers in Lincoln County, MS. She was also a state senator for 12 years before taking the seat as Agriculture Commissioner. Saturday night ended with the exciting Mitch Hearn Championship Stake. The decision made by the judges was Puttin’ Cash On The Line with Tim Smith in the irons accepting the floral horseshoe and tri-colored ribbon for the Tommy Jowers Family of Leesburg, GA. Another exciting team, The Thug and Dick Peebles, took home the reserve honors for Luckey and Kay Easterling of Mise, MS. The yellow ribbon went to Lampshade and Bill Cantrell for Dr. W.S. & Gloria Warr and Rhonda Majors of Phenix City, AL. Rounding out a good class of stake horses was He’s Shady In Black and Jimmy McConnell for Mike and Lee McGartland from Fort Worth, TX.
Puttin’ Cash On The Line poses with proud owners, The Tommy Jowers family.
Youth, 17 & Under, Specialty Champions, proudly displaying the floral horseshoe, are Cadillac’s Bum and Lilly Waites.
A special thank you is extended to long-time show manager, Dude Prestwood, for his dedication and service to the Mississippi Charity Horse Show; to Carol Lackey for her work with fundraising and hospitality; Tara McWhirter, treasurer, who handled financials and mentoring; Dee Cantrell and her super assistants who handled
the entry office duties; the many volunteers who worked so diligently to make this horse show such a success. The SCOOP would like to congratulate all the winners and the show management for another successful Mississippi Charity Horse Show, and we look forward to seeing you all next year!

Rose is a very active volunteer, especially with kids. She goes out and watches the school teams play and knows the kids and many of them know her.

Kounti Green, daughter of well-known Shelbyville horse trainer, Charlie Green, participated in the summer program. It was a pleasure to see Kounti’s mother, Candy Green, wife of Charlie and someone who is often seen making the victory pass at a horse show, in the audience as Rose accepted her plaque. Several of the kids that participated in the summer program, in addition to Kounti, were in attendance at the induction ceremony and could be seen coming up to Rose with a big smile, a greeting, and a wave”. The SCOOP would like to add its congratulations to Rose and to wish her continued success on the court and in the show ring.

The Scoop For The Walking Horse Industry consensus among those who spoke, with the exception of Nathan Jackson, was that a six ounce chain and pads are not harmful to horses’ pasterns or legs as scientifically stated in the Auburn Study. No study to the contrary has been conducted. Dr. Mullins, President of SHOW HIO, pointed out that the typical shoeing package on a performance horse is four pads and a wedge. This package weighs three pounds or less. He also stated that the HIOs limit the weight of shoes and the heel/toe ratio also serves to limit the size of the package. He further pointed out that the scar rule is no longer an issue, partly due to the farrier seminar’s that have been conducted to eliminate contracted heels. Dr. Mullins, as well as other speakers, was very concerned about the number of unaffiliated shoes. The USDA was strongly urged to make a greater effort the check these wildcat shows. Mullins stated that in 2011 more than 600 unaffiliated shows were advertised on the internet. Alie Napier spoke on behalf of the Walking Horse Trainers’ Ladies Auxiliary. She stated that the Auxiliary has raised (one of their main events being the Money Tree Classic Horse Show) and given to various charities $55,700. In the last six years, the Auxiliary has given $48,000 in scholarships, $4,470 to help industry members in need, $6,000 to Ag Works, and $12,000 to the WHTA. Duane Rector, DQP coordinator for PRIDE HIO, stated that an HIO should be just what its acronym says, Horse Industry Organization , in that order. Horse, first; Industry, second; and Organization, third. He urged all HIOs to work together for the betterment of the industry. Ben Craig representing the Shelbyville/Bedford County Chamber of Commerce, provided figures regarding the economic impact of the horse industry on the state and Bedford County. Horse business in the state of Tennessee brings in $40 million per year. He urged the horse industry and the USDA to work together. Many dollars raised by horse shows are given by civic clubs to local communities to assist the less fortunate and needy.
Good morning, my name is Marty Irby, President of the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association, headquartered in Lewisburg, Tennessee. TWHBEA is the oldest and most prestigious organization devoted to the promotion and protection of the breed. Founded in 1935, the breed registry was established to record the pedigrees of the Tennessee Walking Horse. Its goal is to maintain the purity of the breed, to promote greater awareness of the Tennessee Walking Horse and its qualities, to encourage expansion of the breed and to help assure its general welfare. TWHBEA’s current membership is comprised of some 10,100 members from all 50 states, and a number of foreign countries. TWHBEA was the only breed registry in the United States of America to show membership growth in 2011. This above all breed registries including AQHA, Paint Horse Association, Arabians, Morgans, and many more. All other breed registries showed substantial declines. This lends credibility to TWHBEA’s position, and shows strength within our industry to represent the interests of all members from all factions. TWHBEA is the only National and International Organization whose membership is represented by states and regions, that elect representatives from each area to represent members on our International Board of Directors. TWHBEA stands firmly against ANY reduction in weight or size of the current pads or action device. The survival of our registry relies mainly on the performance horse. As the performance horse market has declined over the past 6 years, our annual budget has decreased from $5,000,000+/- to less than $2,000,000 annually. Our breed, horse, and registry will not survive at its current level without the existence of our great performance horse.
Response to Questions Provided by USDA
The presentation by Marty Irby, President of TWHBEA, can be seen below in its entirety.
1. Congress passed the Horse Protection Act in 1970 to eliminate the cruel and inhumane practice of soring horses. How close are we to achieving the goal?
As the session was drawing to a close and questions were being asked, Dr. Cezar stated that the USDA was trying to check more unaffiliated shows, but were not always aware of where and when the shows are taking place. She urged people to go to the USDA website and provide them with information on unaffiliated shows that had performance classes. Dr. Gipson stated that the USDA is working to ensure that DQPs have no conflicts of interest. He said that the horses are better but that it is an issue that is still evolving. Dr. Gipson believes that unification is important in the industry, because nothing is accomplished by fighting among ourselves.
For the five (5) predominate certified HIOs which inspect both performance and pleasure horses (PRIDE, WHOA, SHOW, KY AND HOA), the average compliance rate was 98.56%. In 2011 alone, there were a total of 53,783 horses inspected by these five (5) HIOs with a total of 955 violations found. In light of the fact that the USDA is able to attend only 6% of affiliated events, HPA self-regulation through these and other certified HIOs has provided massive strides in effectuating the Act and its regulations since the Act was passed in 1970. Additionally, the HIO system has provided for immediate disqualification from competition of horses found to be non-compliant as well as industry-imposed penalties for violators.
Dr. Cezar answered a question regarding foreign substances by stating that foreign substance violations pertain to masking and numbing agents, and irritants. It does not apply to shampoo, show sheen, or fly spray. Dr. Gipson thanked everyone for attending, for their openness and honesty, and for the valuable information that was provided. The final listening session will be held in Riverdale, Maryland, on April 10th.
Response For USDA Listening Session on April 4, 2012 from Marty Irby, President of The Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ & Exhibitors’ Association (TWHBEA).
This question posed by the APHIS begs the question “by what standard do you measure success in ‘eliminating the cruel and inhumane practice of soring horses’”? ’In considering this question as it relates to the HPA enforcement, it must be kept in mind that the enforcement process involves not one (1), but two (2), levels of subjectivity. HPA enforcement pursuant to its regulations involves the inspection of large animals by unfamiliar humans who conduct manual palpation in an environment that is unfamiliar to the animal being examined, i.e., large, crowded, dusty and noise horse shows. The OIG Audit of 2011 recognized that “Because inspections are performed by hand their quality and results can vary greatly.” By way of example, based on publicly reported numbers generated by the USDA, its Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) branch reports an approximately
The Scoop / Page 21
NEWS
The Scoop For The Walking Horse Industry 98% compliance rate for 2010 and 2011. The inspections performed by FSIS are to ensure the nation’s commercial supply of meat, poultry and egg production is safe in order to protect human health and safety. FSIS inspections are based upon objective standards enforced by USDA FSIS inspectors yet the USDA is only able to report an approximately 98% compliance rate on these issues directly affecting human health and safety. 2. Can the industry achieve a consensus on how to carry out a self-regulatory program to enforce the Horse Protection Act in a consistent way? In November 2011 the industry formed a “Unity Committee” with the goal of achieving consensus on industry issues, including HPA enforcement. The Unity Committee is comprised of representatives from the four (4) major industry organizations: The Walking Horse Trainers Association, The Walking Horse Owners Association, The Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders and Exhibitors Association and the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration. The Unity Committee has also involved certified HIOs in their process to best address HPA enforcement. Pursuant to recommendations flowing from the Unity Committee effort, the HIOs have begun work to standardize rulebooks, shoeing and showing standards, and are considering other items such as common inspection training sessions. In addition, the current Unity Committee is in the process of formalizing a unified effort under the name Tennessee Walking Horse Alliance. Dr. Chester Gipson of the APHIS Division of the USDA came to speak to our groups in the later part of the Fall of 2011 to warn us of the forces at work against the padded performance horse. We have made great strides in a short period of time in unity efforts. The “one voice” concept for the performance horse was brought to us by Gipson, and we believe we can come to some consensus. A major current problem today is the segment of our industry which chooses to participate in events which are unaffiliated with any HIO, thereby rendering the industry incapable of regulating these events because it lacks any legal authority to do so. Consequently, all horses shown at these events are completely unregulated and the industry has no mechanism to ensure these horses are shown in accordance with the HPA. The industry is faced with issues associated with unaffiliated events over which it has no control, but must instead rely upon the USDA to take steps to ensure HPA compliance at such events which, to date, has not occurred. The USDA has long-recognized that this unregulated segment of the breed constitutes a significant number of events at which a significant number of horses compete. USDA statistics associated with the 1976 HPA Amendments estimate that 75% of all shows are in fact unaffiliated. Additionally the USDA has rarely attended any of these events. As long as non-compliant individuals are given the option of showing at events which are virtually ensured to be unregulated, the breed as a whole can never achieve complete consistency regarding HPA compliance due to the industry’s lack of authority. The USDA has failed miserably in this area and should immediately move full speed ahead in identifying, visiting, and inspecting these unaffiliated shows. These unaffiliated shows cripple our industry and have long been a problem that must finally be resolved.
restraints of the USDA, HIOs provide an invaluable ability to ensure compliance with the Act where, otherwise, there would be absolutely no oversight. Since, according to the OIG Audit of 2011, APHIS was able to attend only six (6)% of horse shows between 2005 - 2008, HIOs are able to fill what otherwise would be a huge void in HPA enforcement. 4. How can the industry reconcile its inherent competition aspect with ensuring compliance with the Horse Protection Act? Legitimate competitors, whether in sport or in for-profit businesses, all desire a level playing field upon which to compete. The role of the regulatory body, whether public or industry-driven, is to ensure that level playing field. The Tennessee Walking Horse Industry is no different from any other profit-driven industry which self-regulates. As discussed previously, the inspections performed by the FSIS division of the USDA based upon objective standards have not resulted in a 100% rate of compliance – despite the direct impact on human health and safety. In fact, the compliance rates reported by the FSIS for 2010 – 2011 are almost identical to those for the Walking Horse industry, approximately 98% compliant. Incorrectly, the USDA seems to be focusing on the competition aspect as it relates to competitors in individual classes or shows. As stated above, such competitors should desire a level playing field each time they enter the ring. The more damaging competitive aspect as it relates to HPA compliance is the competition which now exists between individual horse shows for entry numbers and between certified HIOs for affiliations. As addressed by Dr. DeHaven, former Deputy Administrator for APHIS, in his 2000 article, horse shows have an incentive to either not affiliate or to affiliate with less stringent HIOs in order to increase their number of entries, thereby increasing their profits. Dr. DeHaven stated the following: “A DQP program stays in business by having horse shows affiliate with them to provide on-site inspections. Because horse show mmanagers seek to maximize the number of entries at their respective shows, they may be less likely to affiliate with a DQP program having a reputation for stringent enforcement of the HPA.” HIOs with a more stringent inspection process are left at a severe financial disadvantage as horses affiliate with less-stringent HIOs thereby jeopardizing the existence of the HIOs which best effectuate the purpose of the Act. Additionally, one of the issues raised by the 2011 OIG Audit was the conflicts of interest possessed by some industry DPQs. The USDA and the industry should require that all DQPs do not operate under such conflicts of interest by requiring disclosure of any potential conflicts and oaths taken that no such conflicts exist. 5. What can the USDA do now (and in the future) to ensure compliance?
First, in order ensure compliance, the USDA must form a true public/private partnership with those within the industry who are trying to do the right things to ensure the welfare of the horse and compliance with the HPA. The USDA-certified 3. What responsibilities should USDA-certified Horse Industry Organizations (HIOs) HIOs which are actually enforcing the HPA and its Regulations must be rewarded have within the industry? through a constructive VMO supervision program.

The Scoop For The Walking Horse Industry USDA and HIOs. The USDA should develop a Point of Interest beginning with the 2012 show season requiring HIOs to eliminate all DQP conflicts of interest from their programs. USDA representatives have mentioned on numerous occasions the amount of “rumors” they hear concerning HPA compliance issues. Simply put, no one has the ability to fix a problem that has not been brought to their attention. The USDA and the certified HIOs should develop a system whereby an HIO is given the opportunity to investigate and address, if necessary, any legitimate issues raised through alleged “reports” made directly to the USDA. Most certified HIOs have in place a system to address such “reports”, however, the system is rarely, if ever, utilized. Instead, most such allegations are, apparently, made directly to USDA representatives. A system should be put in place to allow any HIO which is potentially involved to be made aware and given the opportunity to address issues in order to ensure compliance and to encourage a level of trust between the USDA and its certified HIOs. 6. What responsibilities should USDA have within the industry with respect to enforcement and what hinders oversight of the HIOs and/or industry? The HIO system of industry self-regulation dictates that the USDA perform supervision and oversight at HIO-affiliated events and to attend unaffiliated events to enforce the HPA. As discussed above, the industry is required to rely solely on the USDA for HPA enforcement at unaffiliated events. The USDA’s limited resources to attend unaffiliated events and to, instead, focus on HIO affiliated events handcuffs the industry and provides a safe-haven for noncompliant individuals to function. The lack of a true public/private relationship breeds distrust and adversarial attitudes on both sides of the fence. A true partnership between the USDA and its HIOs with the singular goal of HPA compliance would eliminate many of the issuescurrently facing the industry such as competition between HIOs and the increased number of entries at unaffiliated events. 7. Should there be a prohibition of all action devices?; (7-9 All answers below) 8. Should there be a prohibition of pads?; 9. Currently the Horse Protection regulations have a shoe and weight limit on yearlings. Should there now be shoe and weight limit for all aged horses? Scientifically accepted studies and data indicate that the current regulations concerning action devices and pads do not in any way cause harm to the horse. A copy of the Auburn Study has been attached hereto. To consider amendment of the Horse Protection Act Regulations currently in place regarding the action device and pads would be to take action to address a problem which simply does not exist with no scientific proof to the contrary.
UHDP Issues Grant To Alabama Ladies Auxiliary Horse Show (April 2, 2012 Shelbyville, Tennessee) – The Unified Horse Show Development Program (UHDP), an arm of the Foundation for the Advancement and Support of the Tennessee Walking Show Horse (FAST), is pleased to announce they have awarded the Alabama Ladies Auxiliary a grant to assist with their horse show in Baileyton, Al. on May 5, 2012. The Parkside School Athletic Booster Club is a co-host of the horse show along with the Alabama Ladies Auxiliary. “We are pleased to assist in strengthening this show with the Alabama Ladies Auxiliary. Horse shows are the base of our breed. Shows are what introduce people to our horse and influence breeding directions in our industry. Keeping shows healthy enables the Tennessee Walking Horse industry to grow. UHDP and FAST appreciate the efforts of the Auxiliary and other groups that put on Walking Horse show,” said UHDP Chair Diana McMurtrey. Previously this year, UHDP announced a grant to help with horse shows in Mississippi and Iowa. The Alabama Ladies Auxiliary and Parkside School Athletic Booster Club Horse Show will be affiliated with the PRIDE HIO. This is the inaugural year for the horse show in Baileyton, Al show and it will be managed by Valerie Smith and J.T. Scott. The 36-class schedule features both pleasure and performance Tennessee Walking Horse classes. The UHDP program was started less than one year ago and the Alabama Ladies Auxiliary and Parkside School Athletic Booster Club show marks the sixth horse show supported by UHDP. The UHDP was formed to assist new horse show development as well as help existing shows that need financial aid. The group will also seek to revitalize previous Walking Horse venues and help with walking horse events across the nation. The UHDP will focus its aid to horse shows primarily outside of the states of Tennessee and Kentucky. Horse events and shows will have to apply to the UHDP for financial aid. Applications can be found at www.fastwalkingshowhorse.org. The program also includes a mentoring program. UHDP will offer mentoring services to groups that request help with organizing their shows and putting together events. The UHDP and FAST proudly promote all show disciplines of the Tennessee Walking Horse.
Any attempt to eliminate the pads would impact not only the Tennessee Walking Horse industry, but also those breeds which utilize similar pads in their training, showing and therapeutic treatment. For example, the Saddlebred, Morgan, Racking and others would all be affected by any attempt to eliminate the use of pads.

Show season is here! It’s time to look forward to a new year of fun and enjoyment at horse shows. Though the economy overshadows us all, show ring competition will still be fierce and presentation will play as important a role as ever this year. Do you find yourself getting confused before a big show when it comes to picking out the perfect combination of suit, shirt and tie? If you are like most of us, the choices seem endless and the guidelines for what to wear and what not to wear slip from memory. You cannot let those last minute details escape your thoughts before a show because the judges come with a scrutinizing eye! You want to have the appearance of an experienced winner and be the envy of riders and audiences alike! This is where The SCOOP steps in and helps to pull your presentation together before the gate call. You should be acquainted
Page 24 / The Scoop
with the rules and regulations of your local Horse Industry Organization (HIO) that govern attire. You can also garner valuable input from experienced apparel and tack merchants. First thing’s first. You must familiarize yourself with a valid definition for presentation. Webster’s dictionary defines presentation as “a symbol or image that represents something”. In this case, tack and apparel are the symbols or images that represent the rider. Wisely planning a good show wardrobe will not only help you make a good impression, but will also give you an extra bit of confidence each time you enter the arena, and save you time and aggravation in the long run. Invest in the best within your budget. Your apparel will last for years and still have good resale value if you plan, choose, and buy with long-term quality and durability in mind.
ENGLISH ATTIRE English classes require an English riding habit (saddle suit), riding boots, optional English spurs, pant tie downs or underpasses, optional gloves, and optional hat (homburg, top hat, derby, snap brim or helmet). Hair must be neatly groomed and long hair should be styled so that it does not hide the back number. In the Ladies Auxiliary class, exhibitors are required to wear a snap brim hat or derby and hair cannot hang below the collar.
Earrings should be small pearls, diamonds, or colored stones and under no circumstances should earrings dangle. Nice touches include a collar bar under the tie and either a very small flower or the more modern option of a small lapel pin. Keep your lapel pins at a reasonable size, and equine related pins are preferred. Anything you wear must be fitted correctly. Finding a good tailor and investing in proper fit can do wonders for the appearance of any riding suit.
LEAD LINE / MODEL / HANDLING ATTIRE The Lead Line class showcases the future riders of tomorrow...our precious children and their cute little ponies! Matching English or Western attire for the handler and rider should complement the pony. Tack can be either English or Western but must be appropriate to the attire. Clothing for colt handlers can vary upon the time of day they are showing and the weather conditions at the show. Typical attire is an English riding habit minus the jacket. Formal attire is desired for Championship classes held after 6 PM. Handlers in the Model class can wear either English or Western attire, but the attire should be appropriate for the horse. If wearing English attire, the horse’s tack must be English. If wearing Western attire, the horse’s tack must be Western. (See checklists above.)

FORMAL ATTIRE Formal attire should never be worn at a one-night show. It is never appropriate to wear formal attire before 5 PM, even for Championship classes held during the day. During a multiday show, even in a qualifying class after 5 PM, a day coat and suit are acceptable. Formal attire should be reserved for Championship classes after 5 PM. Formal attire includes: •

Formal jods with a satin stripe can be worn with a day coat with shawl collar. They should be paired with a wing collar shirt, vest and bowtie or a cummerbund and bow tie. A tuxedo jacket and jods should match. The jacket should have satin lapels and a satin stripe should follow the outer seam of the jods. The tux should be worn with a wing collar shirt, vest and bowtie or a cummerbund and bowtie. White gloves are only appropriate if worn with a white wing collar shirt, vest and bowtie or a white cummerbund and bowtie. A lovely top hat, steamed and brushed, should always accompany formal attire. A wing collar shirt for ladies should have a smooth front. The shirt can have either a fly front or studs. Formal shirts can be made of cotton, but the most popular are silk. Formal vests and bowties are preferred over cummerbunds and bow ties, especially for ladies out of adolescence and with mature figures. The vest helps keep a pulled together look and adds punch to the out fit. Boots should be patent leather. Black works well with navy blue or black tuxedo or jods. To get your boots shining, clean them with Vaseline worked into a small, clean loth. c Bows in the hair should not be overpowering; they should be small and subtle and complement the outfit.

If you have a round face, a derby is not for you. You would look better in a small brimmed homberg steamed and shaped just for you. If you have a heart shaped face, you would look better in a derby steamed and curled. If you have a long slim face, a wider brimmed homberg would look best on you. If you are in a class where you must wear a tux, a top hat is a must; it finishes the look. Men should always show in a hat. You should always pick a hat color that goes well with your suit or if showing in a day coat, normally the hat matches the jods. If you choose to show without a hat, your hair should be very short or pulled back and put up and no strands hanging. This will ensure a very neat appearance.

WESTERN ATTIRE To be eligible to show in Western classes, you must have western style long pants or jeans, western style long sleeved, collared shirt, a western hat, and western boots. Optional attire includes western style chaps, spurs, vest, jackets, and gloves. Western riders continue to have beautiful choices in colors and fabrics for their show apparel. Elaborately embellished clothes are always popular, but classic looks in quality materials and detailed tailoring are a wise investment that can be worn for years, not just a season. For women’s western tops, the key is comfort and the palette is pretty. Tall collars and ornate cuffs on fitted bodices continue to be the preferred silhouette, with many riders wearing waist-length tops worn tails out over the waistband of chaps. Western clothing should coordinate with horse and saddle blanket.

FINE HARNESS DIVISION
Fine harness attire requires men to wear a riding suit, formal suit or business suit with hat. Ladies must wear riding suits, formal or cocktail wear, or dress with appropriate top. Skirts and slits in dresses cannot be above the knee without the use of a lap blanket.
EQUITATION APPOINTMENTS
In Equitation classes, the judge shall penalize those exhibitors who do not conform to proper appointments. Appointment requirements are based on good taste, which is always in style and always correct. A solid color or conservative pinstripe saddle suit is correct both day and evening and should be worn with coordinating vest, four-in-hand tie, man’s style shirt, gloves, homburg, derby, or snap brim hat, and jodhpur boots. Underpasses are required, long hair must be styled above the collar and only small post earrings are acceptable. Semi-formal Equitation classes require a saddle seat tuxedo suit with one-button coat in dark blue, brown, gray or black, with the Page 28 / The Scoop Page 28 / The Scoop
collar and lapels of the same color and matching jodphurs with a vertical satin stripe of matching color. A top hat, white formal tuxedo shirt, dark bow tie, cummerbund or pique vest, gloves, and jodhpur boots are also necessary. Formal attire for Equitation is the same as the semi-formal suit, except worn with a top hat and white accessories, including white bow tie, cummerbund or pique vest, and gloves. Underpasses are required. The formal suit is worn only after 6 PM.
TIPS ON CARING FOR YOUR SHOW ATTIRE
The following recommendations may seem redundant to a seasoned exhibitor but, with so many new exhibitors in the industry, we felt these tips would be beneficial. Careful maintenance will lengthen the life of your quality apparel by years. •
•
Always keep your show coat on a well padded hanger. A cloth bag is far superior to a plastic bag to protect your garments from dust and dirt. Plastic bags breed mold and dust and may dry out suede knee patches. Bring a lint roller to every show for quick touch-ups before entering the show ring. A soft bristle brush should be used sparingly due to the stress it may cause to some fabrics.
•
Invest in a strong hat carrier. Don’t use a plastic bag to store your hat as heat and moisture can mildew or warp the hat. Heat is your hat’s enemy, so never store it in a horse trailer, car, or other area that may heat up.
•
Always have on hand special rain gear for protection of your suit and hat. These plastic covers can be purchased at most any tack shop.
•
Jod keepers are a great way to give your show pants a longer life. These jod keepers now come in fun colors and patterns. These have always been used in the Saddlebred breed and some walking trend setters are using them.
•
Try to use the same pin holes for back number pins, as well as decorative pins worn on your coat lapel.
Remember, you’ll never get a second chance to make a first impression, so be sure that you and your horse create the best possible impression each and every time you step into the show arena.
•
Before and after showing, it is best to keep your garments away from the sunlight because the sun can cause damage to the fabric as well as fading.
Enjoy yourself! Years after the horse shows have ended, it’s the friendships and adventures you’ll remember more than any award or judge. Best of Luck!
•
Keep a container of alcohol-free baby wipes in your tack box. When horse sweat gets on your coat (and eventually it will) use a few wipes and gently scoop away the sweat. Use the wipes as soon as your class is over so the sweat doesn’t set in the fabric. This practice will make the dry cleaner’s job a lot easier.
•
Store your garments indoors in a well ventilated environment. It is best not to keep them in a tack room. Thoroughly and gently brush your garments after each show. Unless there are serious stains on any garment, it is not necessary to dry clean after each show. Frequent dry cleaning can be stressful to many fabrics and everyone’s budget. A quick steaming will remove wrinkles.
•
Make every effort to develop a good relationship with a reputable dry cleaner, to protect your investment. Suggest that your garments be cleaned with fresh fluid. Used or old fluid will not remove some spots and/or stains, and may actually discolor many fabrics.
•
Do not use club soda or nail polish remover. They can aggravate the stain making it impossible to remove.
•
Never press a stain on any garment as the stain may become permanently set.
•
A baby’s soft hairbrush will clean your hat, but the long handle on a real hat brush makes the job easier. Spots on felt hats can sometimes be removed by gently using fine sandpaper or an emery board. For straw hats, a soft brush whisks away dirt, and small stains can be removed with a dab of liquid soap on a soft cloth.
