Showing Dress code for in-hand showing?!

[ThatConnieGal]

Hi all! Just wondering what everyones go to in-hand showing outfits are? I will be showing my boy in Connemara and M&M classes. I have done a few and worn my normal showing outfit. I would just prefer not to wear my tall boots and maybe not my tweed if that was acceptable. Not huge shows. Would jeans, shirt, tie and smart gilet suffice? With what shoes? Thank you for any and all help!!!

I wear similar to black beastie but my waistcoat is navy and trousers are beige cords both from Equetech, navy tie and navy velvet beagler I have a few different shirts but mainly wear yellow shirt sleeve or long sleeve yellow and white, Equetech do some really nice showing clothes.

Short boots look better for in hand I have a brown pair.

I also wear football boots for running to give me grip, I needed them for running on grass but I’ve also slipped on waxed surfaces in short boots, the footie boots give me g up every were and as they are plain black very nondescript

Jeans are a no no. I also personally hate the country boot style that is in at the moment.

I got a nice tweed waistcoat off of Amazon for £60-ish. It has a slightly longer back so its not cut off at the hips! Hawkes & someone I think.

Eta - this is the one I have with the pink stripes.

If a judge cant tell which are the horses legs and which are the humans no matter what colours leg/trouser combination os going on then they really shouldn't be judging!!!
