    Sense your not riding and helping i highly prefer you to wear jeans and your work boots ( if black ) if not use your riding boots and just a shirt , just toss your hair in a pony tail or brade. If your going to be helping tack up and groom and scoop poop i think yoou and i both know its better in boots than anything and it HURTS getting steped on without boots. Hope this helps and i wish your friends good luck and tell them to have a safe ride :)

    Oh um....I always am in horse shows and I see people wear all types of clothes it all depends on the weather. If it is not to hot wear jeans and tennis shoes. And put your hair in a messy bun,pony tail,or even a braid over the shoulder. If it is hot wear shorts and tennis shoes with the same hair styles :) hope this helps

    I would wear Jeans and Work boots or riding boots. Dont need to look all dressed up but atleast have boots on just in case you get stepped on and jeans are good especially with flies so your legs do not get bitten up. :)

    Hope this helped!

    My girlfriend usually wears jodhpurs and work boots with a fitted polo top if she is helping out but not showing.

    If you're going but not helping out, wear the jeans and converse, with the same shirt. Don't be too nervous, just enjoy the show! :)

    Our grooms at shows always wear jeans and work/muck/river boots (like these: http://www.doversaddlery.com/dublin-rcs-river-tall... )

    And a big loose-fitting t-shirt. Sometimes a hat and glasses (weather permitting)

    Just wear something along the lines of that and you'll be fine ;)

    I generally don't, but in a showmanship class it's not a bad idea. Don't do the same kind of makeup you would for a dance performance though - the bright red lips and blush people wear on stage is out of place in the arena. Also, I recommend against sticky lip gloss if it's a dusty day.
