Pikeur GPA Hat

[jdonald]

I am looking to buy one of these to go showjumping but have discovered that you can get them in navy blue do you think that would be better with my navy blue jacket than a black one??

 

[KatB]

Yes!

 

[MagicMelon]

See my sig.... I have one which is too big for me. (but its black). Id sell it if you wanted it!

 

[MillionDollar]

Definitely YES! I don't understand it when people have navy jackets and black hats, but im like that everything has to be colour co-ordinated, lol.

 

[dressagespain]

YES!! Nothin worse than not matching!!

 

[CastleMouse]

Yes

It looks much more co-ordinated!

 

[MillionDollar]

Lol, im sooo awful i can't have brown tack on a horse and have a black breastplate for instance, it really annoys me. I know i have a problem, lol, i know it doesn't matter, but it really really annoys me.

 

[dressagespain]

I am sad to the point of matching bandages and saddleclothes and my clothes matching/co-ordinating with horse.

It makes me feel good when my horses look smart!!!

 

[FMM]

Blue is much more forgiving than black!

 

[MillionDollar]

I do that too, i wear my navy jacket when i ride so the horse has a navy saddlecloth, lol. What is really annoying me at the moment is having black boots with my brown tack, ARGH! So i thought i'd just use them at home and get some brown ones (good excuse, eh?!

).

 

[dressagespain]

Hehe!!!! You sound just like me!!!

 

[Drummer]

Def' navy - very nice!!

I have that problem too.

I am (fingers crossed the bugger will fit anything) getting a new brown saddle next week and changing from black tack so EVERYTHING has to be sold and replaced with brown.

You have just reminded me I will need a new hat too aghh!

Changing the thread completely from hats and commenting on boots, I am going to show my age here, but traditionally (as I understood it) long brown riding boots were only used when wearing tweed jackets. Technically if wearing black or navy jacket you should, for an adult, wear long black boots. Joddy boots for children were supposed to be brown I think.

I assumed it was brushing boots they were talking about. Maybe I picked it up wrong. Yes you are correct regarding brown riding boots, though I have always fancied a pair for home.

Yes, i was talking about boots for horse not me.
But i do have brown boots for myself and don't much compete anyway, when i do i wear a tweed jacket.

Cool I am from the showing world originally so thought blue myself but didn't want to buy one then regret it!

On the tack front i have brown SJ tack and black dressage tack totally the same as you guys everything matches lol
