Children's Horse Competition Clothing

About

Children's competition clothing is the smart turnout a young rider needs for Pony Club, riding club and local shows – a pale show shirt with a tie or ready-tied stock, competition jodhpurs in cream, champagne or white, and a show jacket in navy, black or tweed.
