Things You'll Need
- Measuring tailor tape
Instructions
Make sure you know your clothes size, hat size and shoe size. Measure yourself with a tailor's measuring tape to be sure.
Let everybody know that you are on the lookout for gently used saddle seat show clothes. Inform your friends, people in your barn, your trainer, your church or volunteer group.
Go to all of your local tack shops and see if there is a billboard where people can leave business cards, "for sale" notices or "items wanted" cards. Usually, a small fee is given to the tack shop owner for you to place a card on the board. While you are at the tack shop, check and see if it sells used clothes.
Go online and check online classifieds such as Craigslist for used show clothes. You can also check out horse-related online classifieds like Horse Classified and eBay.
Take the clothes to a tailor for any alterations needed. Many dry cleaning places will also do some minor alterations. If you already know how to sew, alter away.
