recommendations please for a child's navy show jacket

[peaceandquiet1]

M 12 year old daughter has a show pony and wears a navy jacket but the one I have for her is too big and drowns her a bit. Its the cut as well as the size; its just not fitted enough, and its too long. However budget won't quite stretch to the "Pretty Ponies" type of jackets which would no doubt look more the part. She isn't overweight but she has a very developed figure, which causes problems cos they all seem to be made for beanpoles.......!

Haven't seen anything on Ebay.

Hot chocolates and cookies for all suggestions!

Anything that's wool really.. You can pick up fantastic bargains on eBay if you look in the right places!
My best bargain was a £200 wool jacket on eBay described as 'horse riding jacket' with a blurry photo going for £30!

Thanks for the replies. Think you are right about the wool. Will have another look. Tagg jackets are lovely but they don't fit her.

I always had a caldene jacket, it had a lovely shape at the waist to it rather than a tent.
