With the showing season here i thought i might go for a new shirt and tie, my tweed is brown and will be showing my LW cob this year (WH classes, cob classes) aswell as my section D in hand.
I also plan to do a bit dressage with the cob so looking for something versatile. Its only local stuff but still :p

This is the shirt am after with the same red tie and yellow shirt, as i say i have a brown tweed with plain collar, beige jods, brown gloves (dark) and long black leather boots.
What do you think?

What color tie, shirt and tweed do you have?
 
And you're back! Why were you away?

For inhand, you're ideally meant to wear trousers, not jods and smart shoes, not boots. Trousers should be opposite colour to horse's legs for contrast. You need white gloves for dressage. Do you have a black showing jacket for dressage?

My tweeds are brown and green. For inhand, I wore brown cords cos the boy has white legs plus brown smart shoes, a pale yellow shirt and green country style tie.

Thanks!
Yep i have some brown cords for showing the boy inhand, he has white socks, do you think black subtle trainers would be okay for inhand? its often very slippy and hard to run in boots!! would feel safer in trainers :)

I meant more for the ridden stuff regarding the shirt and tie colour :)
 
I have worn black trainer before as the trousers hide them quite well, I wear a green tweed with yellow shirt and navy tie, with brown tweed either white shirt, cream shirt with either brown or red tie depends which horse I am riding, you could buy one of those shirts that can be worn with a stock or a tie it would do for dressage too then, I think most colours can be worn with a brown tweed and look fine.
 
As it's local, trainers might be ok but I know my showing guru would faint if I suggested that! Is it an arena or field? I'd think shoes would be easier and less slippy but you've got to be comfortable.
 
I wear dark trainers when showing and when its wet I wear football boots ;) nothing worse than slipping around when running a Welshie (or anything else for that matter) out :)
