I have done lots of research in correct turnout for a middle weight show hunter but I am very confused.
I have an 12yo 16.3hh warmblood mare with about 9" of bone. She's dapple/flea bitten grey with good manners and great paces and is suited to the class, but concerning turnout I am confused.
I want to start off at unaff levels but slowly work up to affiliated. I have read that 'all' horses need to be in brown tack and riders tweed jacket and tie to match. Yet she's grey and all my tack is black as brown looks wrong on her and so which colours would suit her best? Also that riders must be in tall boots, whereas due to knee injury (temperamental swelling knee) I can never get tall boots to fit but have really smart brogini short boots and chaps.
Can anyone offer advice? Tips? Previous Experiences?
