I am re-adding two tags to this article: there are absolutely no sources cited in this article. One item is listed in the reference section, but this page needs in-line citation to make it more accurate. I do not doubt the factual accuracy of this article (I do believe it to be correct) but those correct claims must be verified. Rellman 18:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)


 * One "item" is a source sufficient for minimal wikipedia guidelines, so I removed one of the two tags. The inline citations tag was moved down to the bottom of the article.  Bottom line is that the article is probably not going to be footnoted any time soon, so no sense cluttering it up at the top by implying that it's inaccurate.  There is tremendous "general information known to everyone" in this article, and footnoting is probably only going to start if there's an edit war. Going to be very hard to footnote, every book on riding says mostly the same basic stuff. Morris is my main source, but other authors may have other sources, hopefully others will step up to the bad and add in theirs. Montanabw 18:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

"When horse show scheduling does not allow for braiding on the day of competition, it is possible to braid up to several days in advance of competition. This is done by placing a "slinky," or a spandex or spandex-like sleeve which covers the neck, upon the horse, thereby protecting the groom's handiwork." <-> Grooming, second paragraph. Common, anecdotal knowledge- couldn't say whether written documentation exists on peculiarities such as this. Found mention here, but unsure of site's reliability: www.horsemanshiphorsetrainingtips.com/.../Preparing-for-a-Horse-Show

"formal dress is usually required. This usually includes white, buff, or canary breeches, a white shirt with white stock tie, and a scarlet or dark coat." <-> Last paragraph; source from USEF 2010 edition rulebook, chapter 16-HU, page 15, article HU127 "Attire"; full rulebook found here: www.usef.org/_IFrames/Rulebook/2010.aspx

Note that subsection 2 clearly states that "When management permits Hunter or Hunter Seat Equitation rid- ers to ride without jackets, riders must wear traditional, short, or long-sleeved riding shirts with chokers or ties." subsection 2 continues to specifically mention polo shirts as not permissible show attire, excepting "unjudged warmup classes." Conflicts with current statements.

"; to wear a scarlet coat without earning one's colors is generally permissible, however it is untraditional and often frowned upon." possibly appended to the end of the final paragraph; USEF rules confirm permissiveness, multiple fox hunt sites confirm frowning-upon; unsure how to cite.

Citations and final edits will likely be completed within a short time; it is a bit late. All changes and possible future edits noted here, with makeshift citations. Apologies in advance for any irregularities and/or blatant misuses of talk page. Penguinultimate (talk) 05:12, 23 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I tweaked some of your changes, here's why: it is very important to be somewhat general in tone, as this article includes equitation division, hunter division, and jumper division, and mostly has a USA focus.  I like the idea of citing to specific sections of the USEF rule book, but it is also wise to remember that we don't need to quote the rules verbatim, we can cite to them. (Also, we aren't a "how to" like wikibooks, someone will slap a tag on this article if we get too specific.  Sigh)  Also, there are regional variations in the rules (for example, anyone west of the Mississippi showing up in a scarlet coat is going to be viewed by the other competitors as a pretentious idiot), and the rules for Eventing are a completely different kettle of fish, too (which is where the polo shirt thing came from, I think) though they are pretty similar, there are other groups with rules to consider, notably the AQHA, which is huge.  My thinking is to use USEF and, at times, USDF and FEI for guidance, but remember that this is an overview.


 * In general, most horses I know will rub out braids if they are left in too long, slinky or no. For attire, I think it best to cite to the equitation rules, or provide an overview, mentioning variations.  (No one wears a stock tie in Eq, most just wear a choker).


 * Also, if you are interested, there is a need for help on attire over in Fox hunting, I don't think anyone working on that article is really up on all the traditions in the US (and I think they vary worldwide).  Montanabw (talk) 17:03, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

History of Hunt Seat
Hunt seat's roots were first founded in Europe when hunting for game. Dogs were used to aide the horsemen in navigating the prey. Unpredictable terrain of the countryside deemed horses necessary to manoeuvre creeks, ditches, walls and fences. Although the sport of hunt seat began as recreational, the working hunter soon became more refined and competitive, in which the show hunter became.
