Brown boots.

[HopOnTrot]

I’m looking to buy a pair of new riding boots for “going out”. I have a native and we only ever do a little of anything, is there any occasion brown boots aren’t suitable?
All my tack is brown and I think they’d go better with my tweed.
But I’m old and can no longer remember all the rules, traditions and faux pas of tack and turnout!

What can’t I do in brown boots and tweed?

If your showing in particular classes you would have to check. I did ROR last year and had brown boots with my tweed. Judge said black boots are more suitable. For dressage and showjumping brown boots are fine.

Showing she’d be M&M so I assume brown would be fine??

A quick Google search says long black or brown boots to be worn by adults.

Brown boots are awesome!

Once upon a time I used to be super concerned about what was correct. However, as a woman of a certain age - I now have the confidence to wear whatever the hell I like and will admit to having a bit of a boot addiction (in addition to my jacket addiction), so If I like them in brown I’ll buy them and then add a black pair the same the next week because I can.

Go for it - there are some lovely brown boots coming out now.

You can wear dk brown boots anywhere on a native, the only thing i don't like in the ridden classes is the high topped ones as traditionally they ought to be level at the top.
I keep both black and brown for going out out.

Love brown boots - own 3 pairs of brown and no black now! Haven't stopped me doing anything but showing isn't my bag.

Love brown boots... showed my traditional HOYS doing so... wouldn't wear them on a riding horse or hack tho...

I've also done dressage in them - I think they are nicer in lots of ways than black boots.
