i have a 14.2 dapple grey conemarra he will jump up to about 2'6 in trot then he says they get big and hes a little pony really so he canters over anything higher

i have all black tack with a martingale and a flash and a dutch gag or a pelham and my browband is very bling lol it says jack on it in baby blue diamannte with hearts on either side lol
we have a cheval liberte lorry
i have a tweed jacket and a champion ventair jockey skull, i wear a hairnet my gloves are plain black but i do have a sparkly pink whip and i have beige pull on jhods
i dont have my or my ponys name on my saddle cloth but i wan one with his name on not mine(i do know my own name!)
i have a pair of neoprene brushing boots and thats it!
i did buy some kingsland trackies in the derby house sale but they are really comfy :)
my showshirt is just a tie shirt with short sleeves
i always have to wear my body protector
my mum has no idea about horses apart from it hurts when theytred on you:D and she never wears anything horsey
oh yeah and i do have a plain navy fly veil
so what am i???
 
I reckon all the eventers are jealous because SJers (and their horses) can more or less wear what they like whereas BE/FEI have a fairly strict dress code.

Juno - the point of eventing is also to win but sadly it's rarely money - Rosie BSs to improve her horses' showjumping and to win money (rare) and doesn't BD - spends money on training instead. Wears the same gear for BS as she does for the SJ phase of eventing minus the stock. I love to see the all the bling at BS, was blinded by the sparkling diamante at the last (very bright) sunny show we went to :)

D) No
E) I know of it.. ;)
F) Yes, but I prefer a canter if truth be told

And I have a slight fixation with diamantes.. uh oh!
 
as this is a post about SJ, what does everyone think about blue show shirts? i really want one (i want everything in blue!!) and i think it'll look nice with my new navy jacket (well i say that it hasn't arrived yet), but my mum says no, plain is best :rolleyes:
 
Brilliant thread

I went SJ last sunday for the first time in ages. Got Mick blinged up, but forgot his dead sheep pad.

I took my black jacket and white stock, but when I was getting ready realised I had my HS1, so I put my velvet hat cover on and pulled it down as far as I could.. shame.. haha.

Then I realised I looked like a mish mash with my beige jods..

Shopping trip needed.. haha.

Oh and I wore my hairnet.. a big no no then!
 
Brilliant....!!

last time i went SJ (last winter) i rocked up in my tweed jacket, brown tie with foxes on, plain brown saddle/bridle, white saddle pad, brown leather tendon & fetlock boots, within 10 mins of being in the collecting ring someone had stopped me to ask if was an eventer or a WHP person, (eventer)

talk about stand out like a sore thumb... good thing was the venue organisers were lovely as it was blindingly obvious i had no clue about 2 phase!
 
all your responses are hilarious..
you can't go wrong with kingsland if you want to fit in.

scull caps and tweed jackets, beige johds equals eventer lol

no 'brushing boots'

and certainly no tying a number round your waist with a string (not that they'll give you one anyway)


where is everyone getting the chavvy parents steriotype from, which venues are we talking about? I don't think I've seen that one yet? xxx

saddle and bridle with hanging cheek
brushing boots
i love his named saddlecloth except i always forget to ask if i can use it (i borrow it from his owner)
 
I love this thread :D and now understand my recent foray with the kids into the SJ training ground of Cricklands soooooo much better :D. Not in therapy but may have left various others so aghast that they are.

I blame it on my endurance background. You can take the rider out of endurance... BTW I thought that the reason for standing around under multiple rugs was to keep warm and that it was normal to have to have to prise them off the crew to put on the horse? And I think some endurance people may do bling too, but its hard to tell under the mud.

Looking back, I think my cardinal sin was in making friends with a couple of other parents of multiple kids in different classes in different rings to the point of texting eachother where the classes had got to and keeping an eye out for the kid in lesser need belonging to the other when temporarily unable to be in two places at once... Endurance is so much simpler. Arrive, vet, start, stop, vet, repeat "start, stop, vet", bit however many times, go home!
 
i love this thread!

i am the definition of all your dislike!! blinging showjumper and proud. much better than that boring brown you eventers insist on draping yourself in :D
