Riding boots?

Right now I wear Paddock boots and chaps, but I want to start showing soon, will I have to get tall boots?

Riding boots?
What circuit are you planning on showing? In open shows, pony club, 4H, and most breed shows (aqha, apha, and arab) that I know of you can show with paddocks and half chaps.





They aren%26#039;t the most perfect thing...if you decide you like showing then invest in boots (you can get them for cheap at tack swaps and on ebay). For the first year though you can get by with half chaps and paddock boots.





Have fun!
Reply:Yes, they are required for all types of english showing, that I know of.
Reply:if you are under 16 then joddie boots and clips or if you are older than 16 then its tall boots i think
Reply:if your old enough to use yahoo answers than yes for younger rider paddock boots and garters are acceptable but for older riders long boots
Reply:Yeah, in most places, but you need to check the rules.
Reply:It depends what level you wan to compete at.


For a local riding club it probably wouldn%26#039;t be necessary for you to buy new boots but I wouldn%26#039;t wear the chaps. Jodhpur clips would look much smarter, they only cost around £3 and you can get them from any tack shop.


If you want to compete at a high affiliated level then it depends which breed society you are registered with. Most you are required to wear long boots- senior jodhpur boots- Junior.


If you do choose to buy some boots go for some leather look-a-likes. They look much better than the PVC and cost about the same as them.


Good Luck at the Competition!
Reply:Yes, you will have to wear tall boots for show and get them soon because they are really hard to break in, much different from paddock boots and chaps.
Reply:A schooling show or a smaller %26quot;fun%26quot; type of show wouldn%26#039;t require you to. Do your chaps match your boots? If they don%26#039;t, you might want to wear just your paddock boots. Ask your instructor what you need. If you do need to wear tall boots but don%26#039;t want to spend a lot on them just yet, you can buy PVC leather-look tall boots from State Line Tack, Dover, etc. that are correct.
Reply:Tall boots are the best. They look the most professional and most shows require them. Find a nice fit and work them in. Dont buy a pair and then wear them just for shows, thats painful.
Reply:check the rules... I show at class A Arabian shows (those are very big shows) and the rules state that paddock boots and half chaps are permitted. So just double check... all I know is that for dressage you MUST wear tall boots, no half chaps.
