Hi everyone! I am choosing new show attire for coming events and I wanted some help as have no idea what colours work together! I'm competing low level dressage however prefer the tweed jacket and coloured tie look than traditional. I was wondering what colour shirt and jacket would complement...

Okay, thank you very very much everyone. As for the hacking side of it that does get her cantering, however we don't have many large uphill fields around me just narrow tracked which she struggles round the corners on! However thank you, and with the transitions thank you smja and be positive -...

Okay that makes sense, she responds we'll to voice so I think that's a really good starting point. Honestly thank you so much, for the past 6 months I've been feeling at a dead end and after a successful few intro dressages I really wanted to get her progressing to canter and I feel so much more...

Okay, that's really encouraging to hear! Thank you very much, am definitely going to go for it. Thanks so much :)

That's very true!! Thank you x
