This will obviously include vehicle, horse, driver, passengers, etc., but above all, the general impression. Attention may well be paid to drivers’ and passengers’ personal costume, as it may contribute to the overall picture, but a fancy dress or period costume is definitely barred. The whole object of the class is to establish which turnout presents the most pleasing picture and normal judging criteria do not apply. It is judged from a distance and vehicles are NOT closely inspected as in ordinary show classes. To be driven at park pace.
