show jacket?

[My_chestnut_mare]

Im thinking of getting this show jacket for my birthday.

I was wondering what you thought of it and also if anybody has one? If yes how are they on and what are the sizes like(eg decent sized or not)?http://www.rideaway.co.uk/caldene-harewood-show-jacket/default.aspx

Yes for SJ, but not suitable for showing and I would have thought borderline for dressage.

If you never intend doing any showing, then go for it if you like it.

It would be for show jumping.
I just love the pink collar and the piping on the pockets and its black. And pink is my fav colour

Then yes go for it as is very smart and though I don't do pink, would be great for someone who does like it.

Hope it is a lucky jacket for you.

I would be using it for dressage, isnt it suitable for that?

I am probably very old fashioned, but have always used a plain black or tweed jacket for dressage which I only do at low level and only do it occasionally and maybe where I go we are old fashioned as I can't recall this sort of jacket being worn.

Maybe someone who does more dressage than me can advise you more than I can.

Thank you for your opinion though, i havent jumped my boy yet coz he likes to leap over them and im terrified about jumping, otherwise i would use it for showjumping aswell
