Buying a rail shirt for WP

Cowgirl1013 · 09-26-2007, 10:40 PM

I am looking for one for IHSA and I have never bought one before. Does anybody have an idea what to look for? What measurements are important and how do I take them? Any advice at all?

IHSA it would be better if you have a horsemanship shirt. rail shirt are for western pleasure.

I would suggest to ask your coach what they recommend. I would ask if they can help you get measured. If you take a chance and buy off of ebay, they do measurements by measuring arm length from shoulder to wrist, around largest point of bust, around largest part of hips, around your middle (waist) and shoulders. I would suggest to have someone else measure you, as you can not do so by yourself.

I also suggest a horsemanship shirt, IHSA is judged on YOU... rail shirts are not as flattering.
