Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size for my child?

Aubrion Optima GX sizing is based on age brackets (7-8 through 13-14), but we recommend checking the specific chest measurements on the Shires size chart. If your rider falls between sizes, it is best to size up to ensure a comfortable, non-restrictive fit.

Q: Is the white version suitable for formal competitions?

Yes, the white Aubrion Optima GX is designed to comply with affiliated competition rules, making it an excellent choice for Pony Club, regional levels, and championship events.

Q: Does the shirt offer any stretch?

Absolutely. The shirt is made with a four-way stretch technical fabric that moves with the rider, providing a snug, athletic contour without limiting their range of motion.
