Roman Schmidt, Assistant FEI Steward at the Australian International 3 Day Event, was a very busy man during the event but took some time to check out the tradestands in Adelaide. Roman, who hails from Austria and sported the most wonderful pair of lederhosen on the Sunday (sadly no pic available unless someone can help us out) took a liking to a pair of antique jodhpurs on the Hicks Apparel stand.
He and Shelley Hicks (above) had quite a struggle to get them off the dummy but unfortunately they were too small. Passersby may have wondered if this was a new FEI dress code rule being enforced!
Roman on official duty overseeing the cross country cool down area on Saturday - lovely trousers but not as good as the lederhosen!
Many thanks to Shelley Hicks and Janet Houghton for sharing the photographs and story!
