A competition number is an essential part of the equipment for the vast majority of equestrian events, and whether you compete in dressage, jumping, or other disciplines, the number must be visible and easy to read throughout the competition. At Unamari, you’ll find competition numbers from Horse Guard in a variety of designs. The selection ranges from classic models to more exclusive event numbers featuring glitter, crystals, and decorative stones in various colors, so you can coordinate them with the rest of your competition gear.
A competition number is the number assigned to a horse-and-rider pair at a competition so that judges, officials, and organizers can identify the horse and rider. Competitino numbers usually accompany the horse-and-rider pair throughout the entire competition and must be worn visibly in accordance with applicable rules.
Event numbers must be black and white, and the numbers must be clear and easy to read. According to the regulations, the numbers must be between 3 and 6 cm tall.
All Horse Guard event numbers in the product line can be adjusted from 001 to 999, so the same event number can be used again and again, regardless of which number you are assigned at future competitions.
In most discipline’s rules, the horse must visibly wear a black-and-white competition number on the left side or on the Breastplate throughout the entire competition. The number must be easily readable by judges and organizers throughout the entire competition.
The event number can be placed, among other places:
When riders ask us about placement, it’s often just as much about practical considerations as it is about the rules. Riders who use multiple saddle pads during a competition often choose to place the number on the bridle or the breastplate so that it stays in the same place all day. Others prefer an event number on the saddle pad because it gives a classic and elegant look.
The rules for competition numbers in dressage and jumping are essentially the same, but there are differences in how riders typically choose to attach the number.
In dressage, the event numbers are often attached to the saddle pad. This creates a sleek look and also makes the number easy to read from the side of the arena. That’s why an event number for the saddle pad is among the most popular solutions for many dressage riders.
In show jumping, it is more common to attach the number to the martingale or the bridle. This is a practical solution if you switch between multiple saddle pads or want the number to always be in the same place regardless of your equipment.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. The most important thing is that the competition number is visible, stays securely in place, and fits the way you use your equipment.
Although all competition numbers serve the same purpose, there are several different options depending on your needs and preferences.
A compeittion number with Velcro is one of the most popular choices among riders who participate in many competitions throughout the year. Velcro makes it quick to swap out the numbers when you’re assigned a new one, and it’s also easy to move the event numbers between different sets of equipment.
Compeititon numbers for the saddle pad are especially popular among dressage riders. The number becomes an integral part of the saddle pad and contributes to a harmonious competition look. At the same time, the number is easy to place, easy to read, and easy to keep visible throughout the entire class.
For many riders, event gear is more than just functionality. It’s also part of the overall look on the competition arena.
That’s why we’ve developed Horse Guard competition numbers with glitter, crystals, and decorative stones in a variety of colors. These models allow you to match your event number with both show jackets and competition pants, whether you prefer classic silver details or want a more exclusive look.
An event number with glitter or rhinestones can help complete your overall competition outfit without compromising the event number’s visibility or functionality.
If you compete in international competitions, it’s important to be aware that the rules may vary depending on the organizer and federation.
An event number for an international competition must still be clear, easy to read, and correctly positioned, but there may be specific requirements regarding size, placement, or visibility. Therefore, it is always recommended to check the competition rules for the specific competition before the start.
A durable event number with clear digits and secure attachment is often the preferred choice when the number will be used over multiple days of competition.
At Unamari, you’ll find Horse Guard event numbers for dressage, jumping, and other disciplines. The selection includes both classic models and more exclusive designs featuring glitter, crystals, and decorative stones in various colors.
Whether you’re looking for a classic white event number, a event number for a saddle pad, or a model with elegant details, you can find a solution that matches your equipment and preferences. The most important thing is that the number is easy to read, stays securely in place, and gets you ready for your next competition.
