Novice WH........... would this be ok...

[Heidi1]

Planning on taking one of mine to a local ploughing match to do the Novice WH and perhaps the Riding Horse WH, would the following dress be ok.

Me :
Green Tweed Hacking Jacket
Gold Shirt with Green and Gold Spot Tie
Buff/Yellowish Breeches
Black Boots
Black Hat with Natural Coloured Harness.
Black Gloves
Hair in net with small green scrunchie.

Horse
Plain Bridle with grackle and snaffle (or can I use her Universal) and hunting breastplate
Black Saddle, no saddle cloth or perhaps a small black one.
Black brushing boots for Jumping part

All info/advice much appreciated.........

Sounds good to me!

I don't think tack matters so much in WH - just wear whatever she goes best in.

 

[sillygillyhorse]

Heidi is that Southwell, what date is it and is there a schedule on line anywhere. Been advised the my chestnut horse would make a nice WH so perhaps should give it a try!

 

[Heidi1]

Yes it is Southwell on 27th September.
Here's the link Southwell Ploughing Match

 

[Heidi1]

Thankies..........
Think I'll keep her in her Universal.....

 

[sillygillyhorse]

Thanks for the link and info, will have a look at that.

 

[Heidi1]

May well see you there then.............

 

[KatB]

Who you taking Heidi? May wander over... MrsT be fab to see B out again

 

[SSM]

I you have brown tack better and a navy hat but as you will jump clear I would not worry too much!!

We are going to enter the Family horse class, think she will excell at this - we are too jinxed to do the hunter class there!

 

[IdoShowing]

Blue hat would be better, but don;t worry if you only have a black one - also, i wouldn't wear the scrunchie, it ok for younger childerem, but you shouldn't wear on in a horse class - good luck!

 

[Heidi1]

Going to take Zara, she needs to get out and do things, might calm her down a little.....

 

[KatB]

Would a sheepskin half pad be ok under a saddle?

No other numnah or anything.....

 

[Heidi1]

Hope we do.......

Go on do it and do the family horse.

I'm hoping somebody is there so that I can put her in her place, seen as mum will be away I can offend this person as much as I like, you know who I mean..........

 

[Heidi1]

So what should I do with my hair, hairnet will not hold it all in, have long hair.......

 

[Heidi1]

Don't see why not...........You going to come and play too.......

 

[KatB]

May well do...

Is a rare week off from eventing.... although is the workers on the Sat or Sunday?

 

[Heidi1]

Saturday honey, starts 1.30pm, go for it, it will be fun.........

 

[SSM]

K saw her at Moorgreen, where she came second in ridden ex-racers - she started on her 'if F was here she would do so much better............(she's not a ruddy racehorse

)' K shut her up by saying 'well if you never bring her we'll never know' - high five to K!!!

 

[SSM]

bun hair, hair net, black band to secure

 

[CrazyMare]

Hair in a bun.

Half pad is fine. I use one under the saddle of the Novice WH I ride.

 

[KatB]

Fab, can do sat... sunday is Brooksby unaff ODE....

 

[Heidi1]

Excellent............She gets up my nose so much. I just want to put her in her place, she comes out with all this c**p, but I've never seen the horse compete. Good one for you here, somebody (rolls eyes) has told her that she should do PURE DRESSAGE, oh my god, she has not shut up about it since....... That was at Burghley last year she told me..... and breath..........

 

[Heidi1]

Ok, thank you............Can't you tell I don't do this showing lark much........

 

[Heidi1]

Oh goodie...........Have you got a link to the schedule for Brooksby honey....Thankies.......

 

[KatB]

Will hunt one out for you.... SGO doing the ODE (fingers crossed!)

 

[SSM]

That's because that person must make millions out of her - with all the lessons she takes - but we NEVER see her out competing (I'm not normally bitchy but she rubs me up the wrong way)

There you go

 

[Heidi1]

Snap, I only have to hear her voice and I want to strangle her............

 

[Heidi1]

Oooooooooo thank you

 

[SamuelWhiskers]

...thinking of doing the novice workers with my young boy here too!! Your attire sounds fine Heidi, often a clear is more important, looked a decent course last year, but from memory very few went clear!!

If i bale out of the workers (would be his first big exciting show!!) I will wave to you all from the veteran ring, where my little lad will be defending his 2007 championship!!

Good luck all of you!
