PPCO Twist System A buyer’s guide to fit, function, and fashion BY MARGARET FREEMAN CHOICES, CHOICES: If you can dream it, you can probably get it 40 October 2013 t USDF CONNECTION ith dressage coats becoming more fash- ion-forward over the last few years, tall dressage boots are marching right along with them. WTe catalogs are still mostly flled with smooth-leather black boots, but colored leather is now fairly common for training wear and even occasionally at shows. If you are willing to spring for custom, you can get pretty much any color you want, with interesting detailing as well. Patterned leathers—ridges, swirls, or even crocodile—are also crop- ping up. For further interest, custom boots ofer cufs at the top of the boots in contrasting colors and patterns. But selecting a pair of riding boots is about much more than fashion. A well-ftted boot protects a rider’s feet and legs and can even enhance her leg position. Popular op- tions, such as zippers and elastic gussets, ease the task of getting into and out of snug-ftting boots. In this article, we’ll explain how to fnd the best ft, cut, and options for your needs—and then we’ll delve into the latest fashion trends, in and out of the show arena. What’s a Dressage Boot, Anyway? Most tall riding boots seen in dressage competition are what’s known as dress boots—boots without laces. Tall boots that lace across the instep are called feld boots, so named because they were originally used in fox hunting at informal meets. Away from the hunt feld, feld boots are more common in the hunter and jumper rings, although they are often seen in lower-level dressage and are permitted at all levels. (See “Boot Rules” below for more on what’s allowed in com- petition.) Some catalogs and manufacturers make a further dis- tinction between a “dress boot” and a “dressage boot.” “Dressage boot” usually indicates more rigid leather, with the boot shaft set on the foot at a slight forward angle be- cause the ankle is less fexible. Dress boots used to have round tops, but preference for a Spanish top (outside higher than inside) has evolved. Tere can be a diference of up to 7 cm (almost 3 inches) between inside and outside. Te Spanish top is popular be- cause it makes the rider’s leg appear longer. Boot Rules For schooling, you can wear any kind of footwear you want—but always choose boots or shoes with heels for safe- ty reasons. If you plan to compete at a dressage show that operates JENNIFER BRYANT under US Equestrian Federation rules (this includes many USDF CONNECTION t October 2013 41 through First Level if they match the color of the paddock boots, are made of smooth leather or leather-like material, and don’t have fringe.

Early 1850 bodices had a Basque opening over a che- misette, the bodice continued to be very close fitting, the waist sharp and the shoulder less slanted, during the 1850s to 1866. During the 1850s the dresses were cut without a waist seam and during the 1860s the round waist was raised to some extent. The decade of the 1870s is one of the most intricate era of women’s fashion. The style of the early 1870s relied on the renewal of the polonaise, strained on the back, gath- ered and puffed up into an detailed arrangement at the rear, above a sustaining bustle, to somewhat broaden at the wrist.

  • Hat Should I Wear for a Horse Show? While the Answer to This Question
    hat should I wear for a horse show? While the answer to this question will W vary depending on whether you are riding in a local schooling show or competing in a rated show (e.g. the “A” rated Midstates Horse Shows in Mason City, or the “B” rated Valley Park in Des Moines), the following information should help you figure out what is appropriate. If you have any questions about whether something is appropriate, ask your trainer. This is always good advice. Helmet & Hair Whether you are jumping huge fences or just sitting on your horse waiting for your lesson to begin, accidents can happen to anyone, at any time. Thus, any time you are mounted you need to be wearing a helmet with the chin-strap fastened. Purchase an ASTM/SEI-approved helmet that hasn’t been involved in a fall. After a serious impact resulting in obvious helmet damage, discard the helmet and buy a new one. You May wish to replace it even if there is no external damage. The general rule is to replace a helmet every 5 years, whether or not it has been involved in a fall. When trying on helmets, wear your hair as you’ll wear it when riding, as this will affect the fit. Helmets should fit snugly and be worn over the top of your head, with the brim resting just above your eyebrows. Do not wear your helmet perched on top of your head, or tilted back. If your helmet wiggles when you shake your head, it is too large.

  • Historic Costuming Presented by Jill Harrison
    Historic Southern Indiana Interpretation Workshop, March 2-4, 1998 Historic Costuming Presented By Jill Harrison IMPRESSIONS Each of us makes an impression before ever saying a word. We size up visitors all the time, anticipating behavior from their age, clothing, and demeanor. What do they think of interpreters, disguised as we are in the threads of another time? While stressing the importance of historically accurate costuming (outfits) and accoutrements for first- person interpreters, there are many reasons compromises are made - perhaps a tight budget or lack of skilled construction personnel. Items such as shoes and eyeglasses are usually a sticking point when assembling a truly accurate outfit. It has been suggested that when visitors spot inaccurate details, interpreter credibility is downgraded and visitors launch into a frame of mind to find other inaccuracies. This may be true of visitors who are historical reenactors, buffs, or other interpreters. Most visitors, though, lack the heightened awareness to recognize the difference between authentic period detailing and the less-than-perfect substitutions. But everyone will notice a wristwatch, sunglasses, or tennis shoes. We have a responsibility to the public not to misrepresent the past; otherwise we are not preserving history but instead creating our own fiction and calling it the truth. Realistically, the appearance of the interpreter, our information base, our techniques, and our environment all affect the first-person experience. Historically accurate costuming perfection is laudable and reinforces academic credence. The minute details can be a springboard to important educational concepts; but the outfit is not the linchpin on which successful interpretation hangs.
