Do you have to wear white gloves for unnaffiliated dressage?

[Paint it Lucky]

I am doing some tomorrow and have managed to loose one white glove, no idea how but I am like that! I have some black ones I can wear, are these allowed? I know that for affiliated you have to wear white gloves but don't know if it's the same for unnaffill or not, I guess it probably depends on the venue but thought I would ask on here anyway! Thankyou

As far as I know yes they do have to be pale coloured. Our unaff is run under BD rules. Maybe have a quick look through your schedule if it says anything about BD rules?
Good luck!

I think it will depend entirely on the venue, plenty of black gloves to be seen at unaff dressage in my area.

BD rules state that gloves must be worn and pale colours are strongly preferred - that means you can wear dark gloves.

You'll be fine with black, white gloves are not compulsorary even when competing affiliated.

'42. Gloves
Must be worn. White, beige or cream gloves are strongly preferred.'

No not at all.

I wouldn't worry.... at our local unaff today there was someone in a grackle and someone in a 4 ring snaffle and lots in martingales!!
