you may find long boots a bit slippy to run in. i would wear cream jods.

For in hand showing , straight cut plain trousers with joddy boots would be best.

I would go to matalan or somewhere and get some cream or navy coloured trousers or cords (go for a light colour if horse has dark legs and dark for light legs), and wear jodh boots with them.
The shirt, tie and jacket sound fine. You'll also need a hat, though a riding hat will do. Oh, and a cane.

The way youv'e written it makes it sound like you have a white tie, if you have a coloured one, that would be better (blue/green/red etc)

Thanks guys - I can see a shopping trip in order on Saturday
I don't know how big the show is going to be - I'm only going so the ponio can get some showing experience coz I've never showed in hand before
Virtual - it's a coloured tie (I'm *ahem* borrowing my Dad's....)

Avoid white jods. If your jacket is grey, I would find some cheap navy trousers. Change the long black boots for short ones - long boots are hell to show inhand in. Nick your dad's tie - red would look nice and brighten up the grey and navy. Ideally wear dark trousers if your horse has white legs, and light trousers for a horse with dark legs.
Or, wear a light pink shirt and use a navy tie with your jacket.
Hair - if it is long, tie back and put in a bun. Ideally wear some sort of hat, either your hard hat, again if you can avoid black it would be best, or wear a trilby type.
E-bay has some cracking bargains on if you look - all my show gear has come from their - this year alone I have saved £400 on what I would have spent on show outfits, and it is in perfect condition.
Good luck and above all, do have fun.
