1.	Shop online for clothing deals!  See "Best Bargain Sites" on the menu bar to the left for several affordable sites.
2.	Athletic shirts made for running, working out, or golfing are easier to find on sale than horse shirts and great for keeping cool. See our "Keeping Cool" page for ideas.
3.	Any pair of comfortable gloves can be converted to riding gloves with some dots of fabric paint on the palm for grippiness.
4.	Keep a sense of humor - check out the funny shirt page!
5.	Wash polo wraps in a mesh laundry bag to keep them from getting knotted up.
6.	Update your show wardrobe with  one key piece instead of replacing everything.
7.	Cheap gardening gloves can make great riding gloves.
8.	Buy good boots - it will save you in the long run.
9.	Tip for Stained Breeches:   If you have a pair of light colored breeches that were purchased for show, but have since become too stained to be seen in public (or maybe you just don't like wearing them in public because they are... light colored breeches!), try dying them a darker color (this will work for grungy square saddle pads too).  They can then be used as schooling breeches.  I know this works well for Clarino patches, but am not sure what it would do for leather.
10.	If you find most helmets uncomfortable, you may have more of a round head.  I have been informed by a round headed friend that Troxels are torture deviced for her.  She recommend the Tipperary (see the product review page for a full review).
