2. Chaps That Keep You Cool 

Ultrasuede chaps have become a staple in the show ring for good reason. Lighter and cooler than leather, Ultrasuede offers comfort, and its vibrant colors stay true, even through multiple washes.

3. Chocolate Caiman Boots

This chocolate boot by Macie Bean offers the look of exotic leather at a more affordable price, thanks to its realistic print design.

You’ll get the same standout style without the premium cost. $234.99; nrsworld.com.

4. Your Go-To Show Blanket

With its mix of dark espresso brown, sand, and chocolate tones, this oversized show blanket is a classic choice. These versatile colors pair effortlessly with a wide range of horses and tack, making
