Western Horse Show Fashion Clinic 2: Color and Style

Color and style are the key elements of your western horse show wardrobe- by Suzanne Dmec, Equus

In the second half of this introduction to the Western Show Ring Fashion Series, let's look at color and style tips. Both play an important part in making your show presentation outstanding. Keep your riding skills and your horse's best traits in mind as you read along and consider how you can best use color and style to flatter your show-ring performance.

Look Who's Wearing the Brand

Barranada Shirt Company

Looking to update your wardrobe for fall with some classic, sophisticated pieces? Search no further than Barranada Shirt Company.

With special attention to cut, quality and fit, Barranada (Spanish for "bar none") designs shirts that can go from the arena to the boardroom. These shirts are known for their outstanding fit: longer sleeves and shirttails, plus critical ease through the shoulder area for an arena (or boardroom!) look that does not pull or bind. Barranada's distinctive shirts are punctuated with mother-of-pearl buttons bearing the Barranada brand.

"Our shirts for men and women are made from beautiful fabrics exquisitely tailored to deliver that perfectly classic look that never goes out of style," says Barbara Graves, Barranada owner and designer. 

Jill Voss was the winner of the Gordyville Shootout in Amateur Western Pleasure this year. She was announced first of twenty competitors while riding her mare, One Hot Drama Mama, and proudly wearing Barranada's Ace.

Jill also competed at the Big A in Atlanta this summer. She is ranked top five in the nation in Amateur Western Pleasure. Jill and her mare have earned a Superior in Amateur Western Pleasure and qualified for the AQHA World Show in Amateur Performance Halter, Amateur Western Pleasure and Junior Western Pleasure.

As the popular style for horse showing moves away from flashy "bling" toward a more elegant, solid-color look, Jill is joined by many top trainers and exhibitors who have opted for Barranada's classic-tailored shirts, as they exude confidence in the animal's performance as well as the rider's ability.
