As I mentioned on another post �I did some research and couldn�t find anything specific or links even through the American Driving Association or via other Associations.

Not knowing the show�s attire rules, it is difficult to recommend proper attire and plus I have not shown in a Meadowbrook cart before. You may want to contact the show�s governing Association to inquire or look at photos.

In my driving classes, under a Saddlebred show-pleasure driving class, my attire has been gauchos, tailored blouse, and a sequined jacket. No apron or gloves required. I prefer gauchos since I can get in/out of a pleasure cart easily without hiking up a shirt/dress. The gauchos give the appearance of a long skirt and are classy with a pair of tall boots. The gauchos might be appropriate for a Meadowbrook cart but I don�t know. Also, you may need an apron and gloves but again I don�t know. Looking at photos, checking the proper show attire, and asking your trainer might be your best bet.

What I can share is that for my driving classes I purchase hats through http://www.villagehatshop.com/, the sequined gowns/jackets from http://www.cybernetplaza.com/sequined-formal-dresses.asp, and the gaucho from http://www.rods.com/ProductSummary.aspx?free_text|6/29/2011 1:09:11 PM=gaucho&deptId=0. The sequined dresses/jackets are absolutely beautiful and well priced. Please check them out and let me know your thoughts. If you find something that is appropriate please share.
