hey all so im back with More questions. lol.

i have my eye on a Jacket and if i win it what colours will go with it..
i dont fancy the baggy chino type look.. could i get away with a semi skinny fit jean type, they look like cord material but there just fitted..
yellow/cream shirt with what, red, pink or plain tie?
gloves Tan or darker brown?
cane, black or brown?
as for hats do you show a shetty in a Hunts hat? or do i have to get a Trilby, or what about a smaller Top hat type?
picks of my 2, the big is a Fell x sec d - 17yr old and teh little is my 10mnth mini shetty .
and the other pic is my jacket.

personally i think that jacket is far too bold for an m&m, i would go for a more traditional colour. However if you are going to stick with that jacket i would go for cream shirt and blue tie.

Trousers- I use boot leg cords and with that jacket i would go brown.

Brown gloves and cane and a plain flat cap

Yes a bit bright, nice jacket though :)

Look on the breed society website gallery and see what others are wearing. how old is it your Shetland? I think it may lack some forelock but bu&&er if I know how to make that grow!

Happy showing, hopefully a nice dry summer to look forward to!

he is Only 9 or 10 month old... still a itty baby... lol. :P

and i agree i just love the Jkt... it will be good to show the dogs in, i dont mind standing out.. (shown at crufts with bright pink and Blue hair haha)
 
I'm afraid I am another who thinks the jacket would be wrong, you would stand out for the wrong reasons. On first look I thought people do wear that sort of thing but then realised that is in the LR, you might get away with it for that but not in hand. I am another that likes green but you could also go with brown or even blue in a small check or herringbone, the rest as above.
 
As both your ponies are dark you will need light trousers to differenciate all your legs! M&M's tend to be quietly plain and tidy colour wise. As for hat, it's always wise to have a hard hat on whatever you are handling, you can always cut off the straps. Dark brown gloves and brown cane look neatest IMO. I dislike black on ladies, too harsh.
 
Lovely horses....but can i just say your Fell x Sec D isnt eligible to enter M&M classes, as hes not a purebred M&M which is what the classes are for.

M&M classes have always been for registered purebred M&M's. Even the small shows where i live only allow purebreds & not partbreds in, though i guess it depends on how strict your shows are by you.

PUK have always had the rule that all horses competing in M&M are registered pure breeds with the relevant breed society, for any M&M class, whether it inhand, ridden or WHP.

Part breds should be shown plaited and pulled, or as a type (cob, for instance)



The second jacket is much nicer than the first :)
