I show at the big shows, and unfortunately looks and appearance are everything. The shows used to be more relaxed but this past year everyone has really started to look more professional and fashionable. Everyone has upgraded, and it's no longer acceptable to show up in causal apparel or with cheap, plain tack. Several people still show in plain halters, but it's generally the people who are not really interested in winning or doing well (And they honestly don't). I'm actually looking for a used halter, I really like this one:

It's not over the top, but it's got enough bling to standout.
