Gloves and Working Hunter Dress!

[CharlieGal]

Hi,


What colour of gloves should I wear for dressage/sj?

And what do you wear for a working hunter. What is involved in a wh?

Thanks

Sj I don't think it matters! I've seen all sorts round my way! Dressage your better with white/light coloured gloves. Wh I personally prefer a nice classic brown leather but have also seen a buttery yellow leather that looks nice. WH is a course of rustic style fences jumped at a more "hunting" pace so not your normal bouncy SJ canter. Let them bowl along and jump from a good rhythm. All who go clear then go into a showing section where you will be asked to do an individual show then strip your horse to run up in hand for the judge to see. Im not 100% if the judge rides the horses in a Wh class

Thanks

What sort of things would you include in your individual show?

Keep it short and sweet and make sure its things your horse is tip top at. Ie there's no point doing a rein back if its likely to be wobbly and crabby looking! Walk, trot and canter on each rein. And try to show a good gallop to finish. So a smooth progression to gallop and an easy collection back to canter. Remember to salute the judge when your done. Hunter classes can be won and lost on the basis of a good gallop!
