Dressage -gloves?

[dollymix]

Hi, I am taking my 5 yr ID mare to her first dressage test this wkend, only unaffiliated.

My question... Do I have to plait her mane and do I have to wear white gloves or can I use my tan leather show gloves?

Thanks!

I think you can wear any sober coloured gloves at unaffiliated

Should you ALWAYS wear gloves? Even at unaffiliated? I'm doing my second one in 20 years this Sunday.

If the show is run under BD rules, you should wear gloves. Light coloured are preferred.

No you dont have to plait

You don't have to plait (most do around here though), you MUST wear gloves - if run under BD rules then pale are strongly preferred, if under riding club rules then must be pale.
Good luck and enjoy!

Ditto. You MUST wear gloves, pale ones are "strongly prefered" according to rule book, but tan would be fine, and no you don't have to plait but most people do...
