showing questions...

Ok what colour tie, with brown check tweed jacket, yellowy/mustard colour with black flowers or green with horse heads, i will also be wearing a white shirt, brown cords and brown hat...

also its my cobs first show and although he doesnt kick at home, im not sure what he will do at a show, is it acceptable to put a green ribbon on the top of his tail to let people know its his first outing ??? its a small local inhand show.... thanks in advance and sorry if my questions seem thick! x

It would be wise to put a green ribbon in his tail, just to be on the safe side. As it is his first show make sure he is wearing a strong enough bit, possibly with a Newmarket chain attached to the leading rein, then you should have good control.

As far as a tie goes, I would try and find a plain, un-patterned one to go with a check jacket. There are usually loads to choose from at Charity Shops. You could go bright - e.g. red if your cob is as a show cob, i.e. hogged & trimmed, or go with brown, gold or yellow, if he is M &M .

he's a coloured traditional 14hh....

Can you get a yellow/cream shirt - or stick the white shirt in the washing machine with a tesco value yellow duster - one yellow shirt. Would look far better. I would go for the yellow mustard colour.

This is my t/o for my traditional cob. I now have a green tweed.

or you can be more casual

Wear light trousers for dark legs and dark trousers for light legs. Gloves should be brown and never black.

Hope you do well and have fun
