Much of the art of successful showing lies in presenting an attractive picture to the judge. Clothes, their quality and the way they are worn, play a vitally important part. John Minoprio's superb photographs will inspire all exhibitors, young or old, whether riding or leading in-hand, to achieve that essentially understated and professional elegance which will complement to perfection the quality of the horse or pony being exhibited. From leading-rein and first ridden pony classes through to the hunters, hacks and cobs, examples are shown of correct and stylish dress. Side-saddle classes are included as are well-turned out judges, and the rules of dress laid down by the various societies are given within each classification. With its emphasis on style and attractive, well-fitting clothes, John Minoprio's aspirational book will encourage anyone who ventures into the show ring to do their exhibit justice.

John Minoprio has been photographing horses at the major shows for many years and has earned a reputation for work of the very finest quality. His unique eye for a picture has made him much in demand as an equestrian fashion photographer. He has been involved with books, film and horse portraiture and is the author of The Blue and the Buff: Portrait of an English Hunt.
