Inhand questions.

[Vodkagirly]

A few last minute numpty questions. I know ideally i should have a showing cane but I dont. I think he may be a bit lazy inhand, would it be ok to use a schooling whip?
Also ive borrowed a blue show hat, should i wear it in the inhand as well?
Do I need to salute the judge? Also should i salute at end of my ridden?

Personally...
I would say no to schooling whip.
Hat is fine, I prefer to wear one (youngsters).
No need to salute judge in hand but be polite eg good morning sir, and thank you.
Depends on what ridden you are doing but I would expect you to salute at the end of your individual show.

No to the schooling whip but if you had a plain brown jumping whip or similar, that will be fine as long as its short. I tend not to carry one at all when showing my youngster as hes on a long rein and i find my hands get muddled otherwise. As above hat is fine, and no salute but always smile and say good morning/afternoon! Also when you do your trot up, head straight for the judge in a nice straight line so they are not dancing all over the place trying to see front on. Just don't run them over!
