Trending on the show circuit: Spring and Summer 2025

Horse shows are heating up, literally and figuratively, as the 2025 spring and summer season hits full gallop. Whether you’re ringside with your camera, grooming in the barn aisle, or competing centerline, one thing is clear: this year, it’s all about making it fun. Here’s what’s trending on the show circuit right now:

Color, Color, Color

Forget fading into the backdrop, 2025 is the year of bold, joyful color. Riders are showing up in rich emeralds, sunset corals, and deep plums that pop in the show ring and the schooling arena. And no one’s doing color quite like LeMieux right now.

Try this: The latest LeMieux seasonal collections bring cohesive color stories to life with matching pads, fly veils, polos, and base layers. Want to go next-level? Mix and match from different drops for a custom color vibe that still feels pulled together.

Matchy-Matchy with Personality

Coordinated outfits aren’t just for your horse anymore, riders are stepping up their fashion game, too. This season’s matchy trend is about building a full look: breeches, base layers, sunshirts, and accessories that align in color or vibe without feeling overly uniform.

Get the look:
Start with a LeMieux Base Layer in a bold seasonal color, then pair it with Tailored Sportsman breeches in a tonal or contrasting hue. Add a matching LeMieux ear bonnet and saddle pad for your horse and you’re show ring ready, coordinated but with your own flair.

Crossover Style

Riders are blending streetwear, Western, and casual flair into their show-day fits. Think claw clips tucked under helmets, statement belts, and show shirts that double as cute brunch tops.

Get the look:
Rock a Equiline CussieC Leather Belt for a clean silhouette in the saddle, and opt for a Samshield 2.0 Miss Shield Shadowmatt Helmet metallic or crystal trim for a little sparkle under the sun.

Statement Boots Are In

This season, tall boots aren’t just tack, they’re fashion. Riders are stepping away from basic black and leaning into boots that reflect their style. Think subtle patent trim, contrast piping, dress vs. field boot preferences, and even custom top options. The right boot turns your entire look into a power move.

Get the look:

• Ego7 Orion Field Boots: Sleek, modern, and ultra-comfortable. The stretch panel hugs your leg while the sculpted fit flatters in and out of the saddle. A favorite for jumpers and equitation riders.
• Ariat Kinsley Dress Boots: Elegant and streamlined, great for dressage riders who want a high-end look with everyday wearability.

Want to go next level? Add matching spur straps, a coordinated belt, or even custom top details that tie in your show pad or sunshirt.

This season isn’t just about ribbons and rankings, it’s about self-expression, equestrian spirit, and keeping it fun. Whether you’re chasing points or soaking up the summer show vibes, Farm House Tack has the gear, colorways, and rider-loved brands to help you show up strong.
