Whether black, grey, light or dark blue: In the past, the show jumpers and their horses were almost exclusively seen in black, rather simple-cut jackets on the course; today, they fly across the obstacles in a very fashionable way. For example, the earlier rather plain white riding breeches of the Amazons are now often adorned with numerous appliqués. However, a crash-proof cap is still mandatory. To ensure that they arrive stylishly but in accordance with the regulations through the course and do not get disqualified by, for example, a bridle that is too long from the judging team, they wear a helmet. spring-reiter.de Here is an overview of the permitted equipment in the ski jumping sport according to the LPO.
