 Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your note. Look on our website (hobbyhorseinc.com)
at the "What Should I Wear?" page for western
pleasure ideas that also work for leadline. In
general, leadline turnout should mimic the adult
version of style for a western pleasure class.
I suggest that the emphasis be on the child with
the leader having some tie-in (color theme, similar
shirt, etc..) that makes them look like a team
with the child, but not like twins.
It's important that the child's clothes fit and
be appropriate for the class, but chaps aren't
necessary until you get to the really big shows.
Try to find a hat that is actually a kid size
so that the leadee won't look like a mushroom,
and don't forget the two rules for leadline: 1
Keep it fun: kids don't understand the difference
between ribbon colors, and don't need to. 2 Take
lots of photos. Your little ones will be in walk-trot,
then college, before you know it.
Thanks, have fun, and Good Luck.
