When I started showing I didn’t have an expensive show helmet so I just bought a velvet helmet cover that I use only for showing. It’s easy to clean, looks good and it only cost me about 30$! I still use it because I can buy cheaper schooling hemlets and still show in them!

Here are some other options:
~If you want to find a rather cheap Show Jacket, you can go to your local Goodwill and buy used Tuxedo Jackets.
~If you have sewing skills, you can buy patterns online to make slinkys, jackets, show shirts etc….
~If you have barn buddies that wear sizes similiar to yours and they aren’t showing, you can borrow their stuff.

If you have some basic sewing skills, you can make an english show shirt out of an old mens dress shirt. Simply cut off the upper part of the collar, hem it, put what was in the back of the shirt at the front, and that is your collar. Appropriate iron-on patches can be used to look like monogramming if you can find them. For less than ten dollars, you have an expensive looking show shirt.

even though that’s no use to me because I dont have horses( ): ), I’m sure it was great advice to many people.
