Showing.... Glove colour confusion

[mulledwhine]

As some of you may know ( as I probably bored the pants off most of you with my constant posts ) , daughter had her first pretty pretty show on Sunday.

When we were trying to buy gloves, we could not find any brown gloves to fit her little 6 year old hands.

So the lady in the shop said ' defiantly not black gloves, something to do with mourning, and that she would get away with white.

A friend , after seeing her photos, has said that white is not acceptable, and that she always wears black, and she shows at county level.

So now I am confused, help please

Most children and county level and above seem to have bought their kit from Mrs Candy, I've linked above to the site and their gloves page - just to give you an idea of the colours that are normally worn for showing.

White isn't worn really, but for affiliated dressage gloves of a light colour must be worn.

Any shade of brown will do, from dark to beige, not black and definitely not white.
Try one of the showing specific sites such as Fylde saddlery or Pretty Ponies they should have tiny gloves, although they may be £££s

The Mark Todd range do a brown faux leather glove in tiny sizes, about £7.25 , they would be fine for local shows.

Brown, brown or brown! (possibly tan!) NEVER white or black.
If all else fails, the tiny cotton pimple ones will do (in brown!)

And unless you have really really good hands...

Dark pony => dark gloves
Light pony => light gloves

Thankyou for the mrs candy link, looking for a new tweed jacket for her, and was struggling to find a small one.

Thanks for all the replies

Only brown, never black, never white, or any other colour
