Horse Show Apparel with Jennifer Connor of Riders Rent

In this episode, Angie sits down with Jennifer Connor, co-founder of Riders Rent, to decode the often-confusing world of show apparel.

Whether you’re a first-time horse show mom staring down breeches, jodhpurs, and tall boots, or a seasoned rider wondering what’s tradition vs. what’s truly required, this episode will help you breathe easier.

Together, Angie and Jennifer cover:

  • Breeches vs. jodhpurs - who wears what and why
  • When kids transition from paddock boots to tall boots
  • The role of jackets in hunters, jumpers, and equitation
  • The truth about shirts, ties, belts, gloves, and bows
  • Where most moms overspend too soon on apparel
  • Borrowing, renting, and consignment hacks to save money
  • Why Riders Rent is changing the game for Broke Horse Moms

Along the way, Angie shares her own horse mom missteps (hello, bows that never saw the ring), while Jennifer brings her deep equestrian experience and her practical advice for moms who want their kids to look the part without emptying the wallet.
