Dressage attire?

[HayleyUK]

Hiya
When competing (local level) I currently wear a navy/gold spot tie, shirt & navy jacket.. this isnt right for dressage is it?

I'm 21 so a senior. Do I need a stock, and a special type of shirt for that? It'll only be local level beginners but I don't wanna look 'wrong' if that makes sense?
Does the pony need to wear anything specific?

Help please, I'm a total newb to dressage diva'ing.

For local level I would just continue to wear what you are doing unless you want to spend more money. Loads of people wear shirt and tie for unaffiliated, even lower levels affiliated.

Thanks

I quite like stocks so fancy one for a change, do I need a special kind of shirt?
I hate my shirt & tie lol.

it is good to get a really nice stock shirt as they are really comfortable! and better with a stock!

Are they the ones with the collar kinda like a vicar? lol, its the only way I could think to describe it..

White stock and stock shirt looks much better.

Go onto www.inchs.com and look on there.
The only prob i used to find with the short sleeved one that uv posted is, that if your jacket is quite tight on the arm, the stock shirt rolls up.
I have an Equinox one, it looks like a teeshirt, ie is v. fitted around the arms and body. Oo that reminds me actually, perhaps i should find it before saturday.

Thank you

A comp shirt & Stock shirt are the same thing aren't they?
God I'm dim!!

I have the Toggi Xtreme one... and it is so comfortable because is like a T shirt but with a cotton collar etc.

I shall have a look for that.
My big problem is I'm tiny (5ft and 7 1/2 stone) so end up in kids wear.. except they're all imprinted with ponies

Not a good look lol!!

Today i bought an Anky stock shirt. Its v fitted and is one of the nicer ones iv seen. Only £30.
Got that from HorseSence in solihul. But thats a small and im 5ft9. But i would asume it comes in an extra small.
Also have a look at the Kyra wear, that normally has some small sizes.
