Entering the Turkish Equestrian Federation (TBF) license exams (KDS) and participating in official competitions requires a specific technical preparation as well as the use of clothing that complies with regulations. To successfully pass the appearance and equipment check on the day of the exam or competition, your gear must meet both aesthetic and safety standards. Cavalier San Marco offers professional and compliant solutions for athletes during this process with the TBF x SanMarco collection, prepared with the official approval of the TBF.

Competition and License Equipment in TBF Standards

It is essential that the products you choose for the license exam and professional riding comply with Federation regulations. This checklist combines the elegance you need in the arena with technical support.

Show Jacket

• Why is it necessary: It is the most fundamental formal requirement for official competitions and license exams; it symbolizes the professional stance of the rider.

• How to choose: Technical microfiber fabrics that can stretch in four directions, are breathable, and provide freedom of movement should be preferred.

• Category: TBF x SanMarco Show Jackets

Competition Polo Shirt and Shirt

• Why is it necessary: This piece is worn under the jacket and completes the formal look with its white collar; it is part of the competition hierarchy.

• How to choose: Models that do not hold sweat, dry quickly, and have collar details compliant with regulations (usually white collars) should be selected.

• Category: TBF x SanMarco Competition Polo Shirts

Breeches

• Why is it necessary: They provide stability in the saddle and prevent friction, helping the rider convey leg aids to the horse more clearly.

• How to choose: According to competition rules, white or beige models with knee or full silicone grip should be preferred.

• Category: Breeches

Competition Tie and Accessories

• Why is it necessary: Ties for male riders and stock ties (plastron) for female riders are complementary elements of the official competition attire.

• How to choose: Designs that are compatible with the jacket and shirt, providing a professional and elegant look in the arena, should be selected.
