Correct showing tack?

I still have my Charles Owen - its around 40 years old and been recovered twice. I love it - fits like a glove.

Of the block of pictures someone posted earlier there were only two turnouts that I enjoyed, a rider in brown tweed and brown hat, and a rider in Grey with a grey hat (could be faded black!

Shows just how out of touch you are doesn't it! given that the block of pictures was from HOYS, the pinnacle of UK showing. the best of the best!

you still haven't explained how a picture of a horse at a show in a country nearly 12000 miles away, in a completely different class, 20 years ago who would have been incorrectly turned out in the UK even back then (black jacket on a woman has always been incorrect even for the equivalent class), is relevant to the M&M show ring in the UK now?

I may now be out of date, doesn't mean I have to like the rainbow look.

The rider in the brown tweed and brown hat looked elegantly smart, not like she'd been dressed by a committee!

your opinion only and not one commonly found in showing in the UK.

You still havn't explained the photo though?
 
OP the most important thing is that you & your pony are clean and tidy and that your pony is well schooled and mannerly. No one is going to ask you to leave the ring if you are wearing blue tweed or using a brown dressage saddle. Conniegirl is correct in terms of what's correct but not everyone has everything to hand and sometimes in the short term we have to make do with what we have. As long as everything is conservative eg no pink saddle cloths or dressage blingy browbands you will be fine.
I showed for the first season is dress top long boots and a GP saddle because it was all I had and until I knew whether I was going to do well I just made do.
