# data[].attributes.body
Yard routine - correct PPE is important to wear to reduce the risk of injury. Suitable footwear e.g. wellies, dark clothing, waterproofs depending on the weather, all hoodies, jewellery, hoodies, trainers are removed, hair tied back and having hat and gloves to lead the horses around the yard.

Riding - for riding lessons wearing correct attire is important because it gives off the impression that you are come ready to learn. A current, up to date hat, gloves to stop your fingers getting sore, Up to standard body protector. This is optional to wear it however, its advised that you do to protect your internal organs and spine. A whip/crop, long riding boots or short jodhpur boots with chaps / gaiters, dark jodhpurs or breeches, polo shirt, hair tied back into a ponytail.

Dressage shows (unaffiliated) - fixed peak riding hat that's up to current standards, hair in a bun / tied up, white breeches and shirt with a stock or tie, navy, black, tweed (in unaffiliated not affiliated),team GB (if they have represented their country) short jackets in through the levels, long riding boots. Whips (schooling whips) and spurs are allowed in dressage however, these things are carefully watched for an misuse on the horse which could result in them getting disqualified.
This differs from affiliated dressage because tailcoats can be worn and ridden in higher level dressage (Elementary and above) but not in lower levels (prelim, novice etc). There are ground judges to make sure these rules are adhered to and that the rules are followed.

Showjumping shows (affiliated) - Show jumping attire is very similar to dressage but you have a choice to wear either a fix peak or jockey skull cap compared to dressage were its a fixed peak hat. Another difference would be the whip used is a BJSA/ BS approved length.
