Hi,
Yes adults can compete in this class.
You should wear canary jods/breeches (I think), long black leather boots, a tweed jacket with a Velvet riding hat that matches (ie. blue hat with green or blue tweed and brown hat with brown tweed), a shirt (not white) with a tie, smart brown gloves, and a brown show cane.

[peeweesgal]

A snaffle is fine.

just to add, a navy blue hat is correct for all classes preferably with a skin coloured harness. Brown hats can be worn but alot of effort has to go into makeing it look right.
as for the pony, you can take him in any sensible tack with a plain flat browband and as far as possible flat cavison nosebands look better but grackles and flashes are acceptable. martingales are ok as well. but remember the less gadgets the better as the judge may think the pony is strong and that is not good. I persopnaly jump in the bit that i show normaly in. You are not allowed to change tack between the jumping and ridden phase, but you may remove his boots
