If you are looking to pair one of these costumes with a male costume, we recommend that your boy friend go as a horse.  If you decide to do this, we like this horse costume and this jockey costume.  If you need a female costume to complement your jockey costume, then we think that she should go as a Kentucky Derby attendee with an elegant, fancy hat.

Equestrian and horse riding uniforms are designed to prioritize safety, functionality, and tradition. The traditional English riding attire includes a riding helmet for safety, a fitted jacket for a neat appearance, a shirt (often white), and a tie or stock tie for formality. Breeches or jodhpurs are worn on the lower half, along with tall boots or jodhpur boots. Gloves are also commonly worn to provide a better grip on the reins. In Western riding, attire might include a Western-style shirt, bootcut jeans, cowboy boots, and a wide-brimmed cowboy hat. Dressage competitions have strict dress codes, usually requiring a dark-colored coat, white breeches, a white shirt, and a riding helmet or a top hat for the highest levels. These uniforms, while different in style, share a common goal of promoting safe and effective riding.

The Kentucky Derby, run annually on the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, is one of the most famous horse races in the world. Known as "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports," the Derby features three-year-old Thoroughbred horses running a distance of 1.25 miles. It is the first leg of the American Triple Crown, followed by the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. The race is rich in tradition, from the blanket of roses draped over the winner to the spectators' extravagant hats and the mint julep drinks. Other notable horse races include the Royal Ascot in England, which is known for its strict dress code and royal attendance, and the Melbourne Cup in Australia, billed as "the race that stops a nation."

Jockeys are the athletes who ride the horses in horse racing or steeplechase racing. The role of a jockey is incredibly demanding, requiring excellent riding skills, a deep understanding of the horse's abilities and mood, and a strategic mind to navigate the quickest path to the finish line. They must maintain a lightweight physique and often follow strict diets and exercise regimes. Jockeys wear brightly colored silks—the jacket and cap worn during races—that are unique to the horse's owner. This helps to distinguish horses in the race for spectators. Some of the most successful jockeys in history include Bill Shoemaker, who won 11 Triple Crown races, and Frankie Dettori, who once won all seven races on a single day at Ascot.

Jockey costume accessories can add a dash of authenticity to a jockey-themed outfit. A key accessory is the helmet, often brightly colored or patterned to match the silks. In lieu of an actual riding helmet, a costume helmet or cap in the style of a jockey's cap can be used. Goggles are another accessory that can be added, as real jockeys wear them to protect their eyes from dirt during races. For the body, consider a brightly colored or patterned shirt to represent the jockey silks. You could also create a faux owner's logo to stick on the shirt. Don't forget the riding crop—an essential tool for a jockey, but make sure it's a costume version to ensure it's party-friendly. These accessories, when combined with the right outfit, can create a convincing jockey costume that's sure to be a hit at any event.
