Am just watching a recording of Hickstead - very curious as to why every female rider seems to have an extremely long very blonde pony tail 😆
Because long blonde hair is awesome
It's been a rule since 1980.

Apart from the period when it was banned, hair had to be no longer than collar length for a while, after a rider was partially scalped during a fall but it seems fashion has taken over once again and it is the in look for most riders.

🤣 I'm trying to visualise a homicidal ferretBlond pony tails all the way. I mean, mine's dark blond and sometimes resembles a homicidal ferret going for my throat, but one does one's best...
Oww scalped ðŸ˜Apart from the period when it was banned, hair had to be no longer than collar length for a while, after a rider was partially scalped during a fall but it seems fashion has taken over once again and it is the in look for most riders.
The sheer number of blonde showjumpers does make me suspicious that it's fashion or perhaps blondes are just drawn to showjumpingAbout half or more will be dyed that colour but fashion strikes in many ways. I have a friend that would like to take scissors to all the lead rein riders neatly plaited bunches ending in ribbons and the cutsie look matchy matchy

Showjumpers are just scruffy.
Did anyone notice the Irish guy competing in his puffy hooded jacket. He did look very scruffy.
My daughter used to be able to sit on her long blonde pony tail. She has thankfully cut it shorter now!
That's Danielle GoldsteinI watch on sky the horse and country that shows the top show jumping around the world and there is a woman who competes with a full Indian style feather head dress down to her bum !

😂😂😂 yes I remember the tv show.Does anyone remember the chap in the 90s with the dreadlocks? Can’t remember his name, but he woke up one day and decided to become a show jumper (couldn’t ride) - I think there was a tv programme about him? Anyway, I often wondered what size his hat was 😂
