no, never black jackets for showing.

for inhands a green or brown tweed jacket is correct for every type of horse although arab handlers tend to wear white and welsh handlers waistcoats because they have to run very very fast.
i'd go for a cream or pale yellow shirt and a tie to compliment the jacket.
This is my inhand outfit.
 
ah ha,what a shame i will have to spend more money buying a new jacket !!!!

not sure what classes yet untill i look at the programs,but mostly veterans and any other class i can stick the old man in lol as im not sure what else i can put him in !!!!
 
sorry would probably help if i actualy added the picture.

This is my outfit and the pony in question is 25 years old

he does some inhand show pony and show hunter pony classes but the only ridden classes he does are the VHS veteran classes as he doesnt like doing ridden classes much but is quite happy to do ONE class but after one class he plants himself and wont do anymore.
Ive also go anouther veteran who at 18 does M&M classes and does very very well at them
 
is he by anychance a gelderlander?

anyway i'd say your other option would be the hunter classes (if they are split into weights then heavy weight) but as an honest opinion i dont think he is county show material in the hunter classes
 
yeh he is a gelderlander,spent his life as a carriage horse,showing all over ther world,ascot,windsor ect !

i wouldnt do county level in hunter but will do veterans,i only want to do local shows as hes only a happy hacker now but still got loads left in him so i want to let him do what he does best and show of as he enjoys it

Can't go wrong with a tweed jacket, collar and tie, beagler hat, keeping the same color scheme, beige trousers and jodhpur/paddock boots for inhand.
At the end of the day they are judging the horse (if its not a turnout class etc) so ditto above really.

Gosh what a stunning horse you've got, super intelligent head, good luck at your shows.
 
I keep reading that if your horse has light legs you should wear black trousers, and light trousers if it has dark legs.

I want to show my mare in hand. She has white socks to mid-cannon on her near-side and black on her off-side.

What colour legs should I have?
 
Seeing as none of the shows around here are doing any M&M in-hand classes, we're just going to do a general in-hand. Not ideal - I went to watch a show on Sunday where they just had one in hand class which was open to anything and included a 9 month old colt, a two yr old ISH, a 7 yr old Sec D and a coloured cob.
