Help, mens in-hand showing outfit

[DaveSkywalker]

Hi all.

I have to take my 3 and a half year old bay filly to her first in-hand show tomorrow and I am a bit stuck on which shirt I should go for.

I don't ride so don't have a hacking jacket so the waistcoat was the best I could do.

Blue or white shirt

 

[Spot_the_Risk]

White. Good luck, my OH wore his shooting waistcoat and checked shirt and pheasant tie plus a flat cap recently, he looked just fine.

 

[L&M]

A man....showing photos of himself on this forum......you are very brave!!!!

You look smart in both but I prefer the white - good luck for tomorrow.

 

[ameeyal]

They both look smart on you.
Ill go for the white as well

 

[JennBags]

Dave are you still hoping to get pounced on? :biggrin3:

I agree, the white shirt, and good luck tomorrow.

Hopefully the single HHO ladies will be along soon to drool over you :wink3:

 

[Honey08]

The blue shirt makes you look much taller!

Seriously, the white one.

 

[SmallHunter]

I will go against the grain and say the blue.
The white is too stark and looks like you are wearing a school shirt sorry.

I agree the blue looks better and will be better at hiding the inevitable slobber marks than the white one.

 

[LaurenBay]

I like the blue also.

I will check in later as I want to see the HHO ladies pounce

Another vote for blue...I always think white looks a bit amateurish...
Good luck!

DSW, definately the blue one.

(ps, Nev will larf if you wear the white! )

 

[Capriole]

Blue, not the white...

 

[shadowboy]

In higher level showing it is not appropriate to wear white so the white looks a bit amateur (although very very smart) so I would vote blue.

 

[DaveSkywalker]

Thank you for all the replies. Just got in from practicing with my little girl. She was very good but we are not aiming big here

Looks like blue is winning 7-5.

DSW, definately the blue one.

(ps, Nev will larf if you wear the white! )

Nev was showing off tonight her way of in-hand trotting and possibly a few strides of in-hand cantering

 

[Henry02]

Blue

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

Blue is the better colour but the collar and tie need to lie neatly, as they do in the pic of the white shirt.

 

[neddymad]

Both look very smart but I would go with blue

 

[DaveSkywalker]

Well first show done and my little girl came 5th out of 7 so I am very happy She was a good girl travelling there and as it is only her second time away from home she did me proud. She had a few moments getting to the ring but once in there calmed herself.

Well done DSW

So the blue shirt made the cut then

Great Now when is it Nev's turn for a party with ribbons?

 

[JennBags]

Yay! Well done Dave, you both look very smart; I am loving your filly's humungous ears :biggrin3:

Nev is currently having a "chat" as she thinks 5th is just not good enough

Yay! Well done Dave, you both look very smart; I am loving your filly's humungous ears :biggrin3:

Cheers. Her ears are usually normal sized I don't thinks she likes posing for photos

 

[exmoorponyprincess1]

Well done - both look very smart!
