I'm doing my first two dressage tests with B tomorrow...EEEEEEEEEK!:D
I received a text with my times today, and to say that the judges have permitted us to ride without jackets. Now I have a wardrobe issue!
As B is a dales, I have my beige breeches, shirt in the same colour, tie and tweed ready. However, my shirt is the same colour as my breeches, and I don't want to look like a beige blob. Could I wear my stock shirt and stock which are both white?
 
Id vote: Wear either if they're long sleeved, take a tie pin if a tie or 2 saftey pins for a stock and wear a belt to break you up a little :)

Didn't think of a belt ... GENIUS!


I might but the jacket on last minute before I go in the ring. both tests are only 4 minutes long, and I think it'll look smarter. My tests are at 9:57am and 10:37am so it won't be the hottest part of the day. More worried about my boy getting too hot and bothered!
 
Good luck :) if its bd if you are not wearing a jacket you will need short or long sleeves still not no sleeves.
 
Agree you will need sleeves of some length - I actually prefer to warm up in my sleeveless stock shirt when it's really hot and just pop my jacket on before I go into the test, I'd rather be really comfortable for the longer warm up time and a little too warm for the 4 minutes of the test :)
