Bling - is it a show jumper thing, a dressage thing, or both?

I am just advertising on Facebook for someone to lend me £2000 so I can buy the Albion SLK dressage saddle I sat on today and fell in love with, plus a matching bling bridle.

But someone has suggested that I shouldnt have bling as I am not a show-jumper

Surely I can wear bling as an attempting-dressage person?

Oh, and anyone got £2k they can lend me?

I'll pay you back in installments, I promise

Hey hun, I am currently not-quite-a-happy-hacker and I bling with the best of them

As to the £2000, sorry, no - I do however have an old toffee, a bit of fluff, oh, and a small piece of string. Any good???
 
well i do dressage and i have all the bling stuff i know for affilated they dont like it but tbh i love it im the only person on my yard that has it makes me feel special i only get it out for comps and commonrides though as it adds a bit of flair however my spurs have the crystals on them :P (present for my 18th might i add)
 
Oh, I think we just about own the BLING!! Patent Konig boots and Amerigo bridles, amazingly sparkley Otto Schumacher browbands and stockpins!!! I am a proud owner of a bling bridle, that looks stunning when competeing under lights! As for the 2 grand Splotchy, I have just spent all my savings on my new PSG horse! Sorry...... x
 
bling is very much a dressage thing... can't have too much diamante but I think dressage bling is different from sj bling - they don't have pink, red or baby blue Tretorn boots to start with....

You know, I think the piece of string might be a good bargaining tool..... I'll phone the saddlers on Monday and ask them

My mum wouldnt let me ask my dad if he would lend me the money tonight, even though he probably would have said yes

Well I havent even affiliated yet, so that would be OK..... it kind of begs the question why I am wanting to buy a dressage saddle when I am still doing unaff mind you

Bling= disgusting! Hate it- give me nice dark brown/ black leather anyday. Looks smarter and neater and cooler. Dunno if this is from a strict PC DC who hates anything remotely sprkley, or just my own good taste :P
 
I thing a little for dressage is fine

. Show jumping have less "regulations" on what you can wear i suppose.

I know someone who was marked down slightly for wearing alot of bling.

I know, it's a pain it's all so expensive!! I saved for ages over the last year to buy flights to go see my family in the States, but now I have new horsey I won't have time to go - also A-levels!!! So may buy just a double with my trip money, as you can detach the second set of cheekpieces and make a snaffle - 2 bridles in 1! lol!
