Ridden Hunter - what colour tie?

[bailey14]

I'd like to do a Ridden Hunter class at a fairly large local show on my WB gelding for fun (I know, wrong type of horse) and I was planning on wearing beige jods, leather boots, white shirt with collar and grey herringbone jacket with blue velvet collar and navy blue hat but what colour tie should I wear. Or should I wear a normal show shirt with a stock and pin? Totally confused. Last time I wore a bluey grey tie my Dad owned but my mate said the colour was all wrong.

Don't wear a stock!

A tie is correct for hunter classes! I was always told that you should wear a red tie, as it is the colour of the rosette that you would like to win - but the best thing to do is use a tie which best matches your hacket.

Have a look at a professional photographers website for show - perhaps equinational - and look for what other people are wearing with a jacket like yours, that will show you what looks best.

Any colour that compliments your jacket. Green maybe?

Thanks for the advice guys, really looking foward to doing it, even if we a) don't hunt b) never gallop c) don't show x

shirt and tie always.

Not bright red for hunters however you could concider burgundy etc.

If you can borrow a green or brown tweed then even better!
