if hes a traditional type then leave him long and flowing
for ridden you need a tweed jacket, cream/yellow jodphers, cream shirt, tie, brown gloves, show cane and long boots (black) or just jodpher boots if not showing much- but long boots look much better IMO
and a blue velvet hat with flesh coloured harness.
he needs to wear a normal cavesson bridle with a wide noseband plain browband and either a pelham or double but a snaffle is fine at lower levels. no flash, martingales, gags, boots etc.
a gp or straight cut saddle- not a jumping one because you need to show off his shoulder, the knee rolls hide them on a jumping saddle. and no numnah or a very discreet one shaped to the saddle and either black/brown/white, depending what blends to your horse best- but not wearing one is simplest!
for inhand he can wear his ridden bridle with the reins taken over his head (snaffle bit).
you need to wear either light or dark trousers depending on the colour of his legs- light legs, dark trousers/ dark legs, light trousers. either jeans (not blue denim, or cords are popular)
your tweed, shirt and tie and a hat. hair in a hairnet in a bun, brown gloves and show cane (bamboo/leather under 30cm long i think the rule is).
think this is most things!
