You should wear show pants that match the color of your chaps. You shouldn't wear jeans unless it is a small local open show or if your a man.
You don't have to wear chaps when riding, it mostly depends on where you are going to be. If you are going to be riding where there is a lot of brush you might want to wear them, just remember that if the brush hurts you it could also hurt your horse. It can also save your legs from being rubbed against the saddle.

-English riding is not only in England -Its really fun though -A common activity in English riding is showjumping in which you are judged on how fast you complete the course and how many errors you made. I do this. -another activity in English riding is dressage which is a very diciplined riding technique where you are judged on a variety of things like being precise and behaviour of your horse. - saddle and bridle etc. is different to western -English riders wear helmets/hard hats rather than cowboy hats like western -You also wear breeches, chaps, boots and carry a crop -If you are thinking of participating be prepared to fall off, be bitten etc. but its worth it in the end when you know how to ride. -The jumps and lines into jumps all have different names -There is a wide variety of horses used for English riding. Hope this helps

Chaps were introduced by the Spanish to protect their legs from cactus, brush and thorns. They called them Chaparehos. The first chaps were large pieces of cowhide attached to the saddle that wrapped around the legs.
Chaps are worn by Western riders and are buckled around the waist. Half Chaps are worn by English riders and only go up to your knee cap.
