The title on this glass negative points to a riding costume style show, a kind of competition in which riders and their clothing were judged on fit, tailoring, and suitability for the saddle. Such shows were a feature of horse-show circles in the early twentieth century, when equestrian dress followed strict conventions for habits, boots, and headwear. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of current events. The record gives no date, and the title comes from the agency's own caption information, so the exact event remains unconfirmed.
