show coat

Competition riding attire

A show coat is a formal jacket worn for competitive equestrian events, typically fitted and tailored in dark colors like navy or black.

The style varies by discipline—hunt seat riders wear traditional cuts while dressage competitors may wear shadbellies (coats with tails).
