Dressage Question ?

[Toby_Zaphod]

I appreciate that most people compete in a white dressage square but is there any rule regarding the colour of saddlecloths in competition. I've tried looking at the rules but can only find details regarding displaying of flags or logos on the cloths, nothing about colour.

I don't want to use anything bazaar but I've got a rather nice black 'Bartl' dressage square which I would like to use.

Can anyone assist?

I think black square would be fine

White dressage squares are just "traditional" in the dressage world, you'll be fine with a black one though

Many Thanks Finn & Snow, I thought I'd be alright but they have rules for so many things I was amazed when I couldn't find one about saddlecloth colour. Cheers

I think as long as its not fluorescent pink you'll be fine!!!
As Snowflake says - it's traditional to wear white, but black or brown would be fine as well.

Ive competed my grey in a black dressage square as it just looks smarter on him than white. As others have said, providing its a traditional colour, you'll be fine

I think the rule is black brown or white

there is no rule about colour white is traditional and leery colours frowned on but no actual law if you want to wear a cerise pink with yellow spots version!

I compete my chesnut in a white one, but my Piebald in a black one as it looks much better as it evens his patches out!!!

you can wear fluorescent pink if you want. currently there is no rule about colours of saddlecloths.

I used to compete with a red (though very tasteful) dressage square as a white one on a grey horse would make neddy look v.dirty and black looked yuk.
