Julez -> RE: Equestrian uniform (6/26/2011 4:11:28 AM)
Yup. Have done all my life and now about to go off and do so this afternoon. Latex johds & jacket way more sexy to wear IMO though. Same old leather boots though :D

When I used to ride I rode English, but I never had a uniform, aside from a good pair of riding boots. I believe the OP is think of the dressage uniform, which is quite spiffy. One of my sisters looked great in it until she changed to riding Western. Now she gets to be all spangly and glittery when she shows.

SinFix -> RE: Equestrian uniform (6/26/2011 7:13:56 AM)
sorry CP but us hunter/jumper riders have about the same "uniform".. as I do both h/j and dressage can use most of the same for both...

SinFix -> RE: Equestrian uniform (6/26/2011 7:33:18 AM)
lol... ya got me there... though I was assuming the OP was talking about competative riders and their "uniforms"....

You do not need a uniform to ride English, you need an English type of saddle. agreed about 'uniform'. you don't need anything special to ride any horse in any style. dressage and showing, which is what i do, have a similar style in that the are stricter than that of show jumping. however, for everyday riding and handling i'll be in normal jods and boots. as a kid i spent most of my riding life in jeans, although as an adult i don't find them quite so comfortable. i think that will be mainly down to the current styles that i don't like. there's certainly no way i'd risk my latex around the yard for sure. needles

You do not need a uniform to ride English, you need an English type of saddle. There's also more than one form of english riding. There's hunt seat/dressage and then there's saddle seat, which uses a completely different saddle. Saddle seat is the longer coats, jods, short boots and a derby or top hat.

SinFix -> RE: Equestrian uniform (6/26/2011 10:24:47 AM)
needles.. we have a style called saddle seat here... come from the south... done on gaited horses like the tennesee walker, missouri fox trotter and some others like that... editing to say that some train their horses to do the natural gaits of the above mentioned not just those as they do show arabians and morgans in saddle seat as well

needlesandpins -> RE: Equestrian uniform (6/26/2011 10:30:29 AM)
ah the high steppers, i like those, although i've never had chance to ride one. i've been told they are comfortable, but from some of the pics i've seen they look anything but. beautiful horses though. i guess they are similar to our hackney horses, although they are mostly driven. needles

It is saddle seat, not side saddle which is completely different. Saddle Seat is ridden on Morgan, Arabs, Saddlebreds, Tennessee Walking Horse. I should know I showed Morgan Horses on the circuit for about 20 years. The saddle we use is called a "flat saddle". It is ridden behind the center of motion and with long stirrups. The habit for saddle seat is a longer coat, jods that come below the heel, a vest, a tie, short jod boots and a derby for daytime. For evening, it is a long tux coat, bow tie and cumberbund and a top hat. A video for you to see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWLp6oDg73g

thanks for the vid OsideGirl. the thing is though the we are talking about English riding. what you are talking about is not traditional to this country, it would be turnout for a breed. in all my years of showing i have never even seen a class for the horses you mention except for Arabians which i bred and showed at top level for 20+ years. most certainly we do not show them in the style you mention. they are either shown traditionally English or in traditional Arabic dress. hence why i misunderstood what you were talking about. saddle seat does not exist as a traditional English 'style' of riding in the uk. we use 'saddle seat' to describe where you sit in the saddle. needles

It was developed by plantation owners to be a more comfortable form over long periods of time. It was not developed as breed specific, but instead some of the breeds developed from the form of riding. Here in the US, it is considered English along with hunt seat and dressage. But, here's the other thing. You patted me on the head, called me a silly American and told me I was wrong. If you Google "saddle seat" you get a whole page of references including a Wikipedia page. So, while I can understand that it's not common where you're from, it's easily enough found without being derogatory to someone else.

So, while I can understand that it's not common where you're from, it's easily enough found without being derogatory to someone else. i was not being derogatory at all. Americans in general use terms to describe what we do in funny terms that we do not use for ourselves. you can call the style English all you like, but it's not seen here as a traditional form of riding, it's very much seen as American. and as for using google to look things up, yep it's great, but you will see that the whole first page for 'saddle seat uk' is mostly dedicated to describing the actual seat of the saddle, not the 'style' of riding. so i will state again, as a style of riding here in the uk it is not traditional and you will not see any rider using it unless it's for an American breed. having done a bit more looking at the style though, i certainly hope it's more comfortable than it looks, coz it looks very uncomfortable. maybe you can help me with a question though. if these gaited horses were left barefoot to wear down naturally, are their feet that long or just grown that way with the shoes? needles

mq22345 -> RE: Equestrian uniform (6/26/2011 11:13:32 AM)
Dressage clothing, tall or field boots, breeches or jodhpurs, gloves, crop, helmet is what i was saying. i do not really like western dress

DesFIP -> RE: Equestrian uniform (6/26/2011 12:49:34 PM)
I'm told Paso Finos have the most comfortable natural seats. I haven't ever ridden one, but a lot of the older riders switch to them. They don't make good jumpers however, but just for hacking about. What I really want to do is pleasure driving. That's always sparked my interest. Unfortunately I don't know of a barn in the area that teaches it.
