black or navy for dressage

[Linz29]

What colour jacket is more correct for dressage black or navy?
and what is more acceptable in the show ring?

If you're female navy looks much smarter for dressage imo

What showing classes do you want to enter? That's a minefield with tweed or show jackets depending on class.

For showing you want to wear a tweed jacket, dressage I think is black.

If you have got the option to only by one jacket to do everything buy a tweed, you can wear it for dressage with a tie or a coloured stock and for most things in the show ring !

I also quite like tweed in dressage as it avoids the " all the gear, no idea " look! lol

if you want a dark jacket though I would go for navy as it is very multi purpose and will sell well if you ever shrink / grow / give up !

Assuming you are a girl? In which case navy is correct.
Wether you would wear it for showing depends on your horse. For alot of classes tweed is correct for showing, in which case I would echo the advice above and get a tweed to do all jobs - looks v smart for dressage too I think!

Agreed. I wear my tweed for dressage as we only do prelim and I think tweed is more 'correct' for low level stuff.

I only wear my navy jacket to showjump

Tweed best as you can do anything with it

Hi Linz29,

I have just posted asking if pinstripe is allowed!! The British Dressage rules aren't all that clear and don't want to get it wrong!

I have a navy jacket for dressage but since i ride a cob i will be wearing my green tweed for dressage.
Saying that though the last dressage i went to (alot of people there, big classes) i was in the minority wearing tweed, even people with cobs where in navy or back jackets?
