Tying a Stock Tie

The stock tie is an important element of dressage show attire. They come in a variety of styles, with some requiring to be tied while others are pre-tied. Recently there is also a fashionable ruffled European style which does not require tying either.

For the traditionalists however, a stock that must be tied each time it is worn is second to none. Fastened then with a pin that holds sentimental value, is a "good-luck" charm, or is an accent to one's entire outfit the whole look is one of high class.

By following this link you can see an animation of how to tie your stock. How much you 'style' or fluff it up is a matter of personal taste.
