With Pony Finals just around the corner, many little pony jockeys and their parents are on the hunt for the perfect shadbelly for the most formal occasion on the pony show calendar. Here are some tips to help you & your pony rider look the part!
Like any apparel industry equestrians are subject to fashion trends - what's in, what's out, what's SO last year. It can be especially hard with the junior crowd being at that age of striving to fit in and not stand out for the wrong reasons. We fit thousands of kids each year for show apparel. From their first set of lesson tights to their 5th trip to indoors. It's safe to say - we are an authority on the fit of show clothes for kids & adults too.
Buying your first shad is nearly as exciting as graduating out of paddock boots to tall boots. It is a right of passage that every kid looks forward to. But before you snatch up that great deal on Facebook on an outgrown big-name shadbelly. There are big things to consider.
Fit is key for that beautiful flowing look as your child lopes around the Walnut Ring in KY. No one likes that fish out of water feeling when they realize their clothes aren't quite right at such a special occasion. Your confidence takes a huge hit even if no one else notices but you.
A good fitting shadbelly should meet the following criteria.
