Does anyone wear ready-tied stocks

[pitter_patter]

I probably won't use one very much as I'm only doing little unaffiliated events, so was looking at velcro attached ones.

BUT are they a big no-no?

They are in hunting, don't know about other disciplines.

Having said that, I used to wear one in my younger days when I couldn't tie one!

i always do cant be bothered with tying a stock in cold wintry weather. much easier!!

 

[pitter_patter]

Ooo as long as I don't get the stock police checking me then I may just go and buy one then LOL!!

I bought one a couple of years ago but it just didn't look right and is now gathering dust in a drawer somewhere

I have 3 which I use all the time and IMO look really nice. Most of my friends use them happily in unaff stuff!

After spending 20 mins faffing about trying to tie mine before my first dressage test I've gone and bought a ready tied one in readyness for my next test - can do without that kind of stress

They're brill. Slap the velcro together and put a nice pin in, sort of bunching the fabric up as you go. Job done. Equineck do some fabulous colours and designs.

They look awful, absolutely pointless. I have a shaped to tie one and I only compete in our unaffiliated riding club.

If you can't tie one wear a tie instead - much neater. Though to be honest tying a stock is not that difficult, you can get instructions on the internet and it is just two normal single knots. I can't tie a tie but I can tie a stock so I wear mine for everything!

If you are show jumping then a continental collar would do instead.
