First time showing.

[05jackd]

Having had pony for 13 years we are going to go and try our very first showing show!

But I am clueless! She is PB Arab and it’s a fairly big agricultural show.

Should I be using coloured velvet brown band? What colour?

We only have a black dressage saddle - will this be okay?

Should I have a blue jacket?

Thinking of doing the ridden and in hand Arab class.

Any help massively appreciated!

What classes are you doing?

Looking at the in hand and ridden Arab class as a part bred.

You can have a coloured browband most have one with red in it at a higher level, try and match it to your tie and shirt and jacket you should really have tweed but blue is fine if that's all you have.

A black dressage saddle will be OK but most will have brown show saddles at that level but I wouldn't worry about it.

She should be plaited with a pulled tail.

Burgundy cream and gold browband would look nice on chestnut then you can have a cream shirt and Burgundy tie, but just use what you have if you don't want the extra expense.

What show you doing?

Thank you - I actually have tweed so that's even better. I thought I had to wear blue for part bred's so that's good to know I do not need a new jacket.

Showing - Help with competing in the arabian horse shows.

Hey all, In trying to get my little horse ready for a show in June and I would really appreciate some advice on tack/dress. We defiantly plan to show in hand, riding if it’s a non-judge ride class. My guy is half arabian. I am not sure if I need a new saddle, what kind of hard hat I need...
