dumb q alert! dressage saddlecloths etc

[Vizslak]

Ok so my baby has his first dressage test 2mrw. I usually just use a white saddlecloth for dressage but he wears a sheepskin halfpad and a saddlecloth day to day as saddle is on way out of fitting correctly without a halfpad as he still changing shape. So can he wear his (white) half pad with a white saddle cloth for his test or will we look like numpties and should i ditch it for the few minutes of test?
sorry for being long winded!

I would go with both fit is better than looks imo.

well thats what i thought, have put both on. Looks fine anyway as its white imo, just wondered what the etiquette was?!

I'm not sure about etiquette tbh - As long as it's not Bright pink and smothered in diamentes! (sp?) I don't think anyone will see it. Best of luck!

Cheers, we need it! He is going to be very puzzled at the lack of jumps in the arena! lol

A lot of people use both but the sheepskin tends to be creamy white/white and the saddle cloth white.

yea noticed that when put it on him today, oh well it looked ok i think and got 5th, yay! he was a little puzzled by the whole thing but managed to stay in the boards and complete a reasonably tidy test!
