Canvas "KEDS" or "ZIPS" style shoes. Usually in white, but you'd be lucky to find them at those bin stores in yellow, pink, red or blue.

A person who participates in elite equestrian competitions who clearly does not have the knowledge, horsepower, and or skill to do so. Their horses will appear to be unkept and will be of low quality. They also will tend to lean towards equipment of the florescent and plastic persuasion (which is generally frowned upon in this conservative natured sport). They also will enter classes which are above and beyond their skill level which inevitably leads to a disastrous performance. A Bobo is generally oblivious to the aforementioned and is usually very high on themselves and their horses. Thus, they tend to cause a disturbance in the warm up areas due to their inflated egos. Also known as a "Rubber Booter" due to their infatuation with plastic equipment.
"Dude, did you see that Bobo with the hot pink saddle pad run in front of my warm up fence?!"
"Quick, the Bobo from this morning entered the 1.40, disaster will ensue!"

A fairly affluent or educated person who repudiates, denies, or rejects the background from which he or she comes and embraces that of another, most likely lower or less educated, socio-economic one so as to not appear snobbish. Bobos, from the French term "bourgeois bohémien" often graduate from private schools, live in hip, but somewhat sketchy neigbhorhoods, marry an ethnic or 'other'to upset their parents, or espouse unconventional food or cultural traditions to prove that they are above their bourgeois upbringing. As soon as the going gets tough, however, their breeding will show, and they will watch your napkin placement and use at the dinner table.
Jack tries so hard. First he spent those three years digging latrines in Nicaragua with that exchange group until his Nana paid him to come home and go to SMU law. He is really quite a bobo. He married that Mexican women--she went to Dartmouth, and her uncle was president of Mexico, but now *he* is all about Mexican realness and is an ardent supporter of the Zapatistas and refuses to let their 2 yr old speak English. I heard that he had to recently go to Boston to attend a Raytheon shareholders meeting so that's why he was buying suits at Brooks and got his beard trimmed.

you need to get rid of those bobos and get some converse or you'll get your ass kicked after school.
