Some last min showing help!

[Shantara]

So, I've pretty much got in-hand and show jumping figured, but I've spotted a few ridden classes I'd like to do.

What outfit will I need and what tack do I need for Ned?

 

[somethingillremember]

depends what class it is and what horse you have and if appropriate what age rider is

 

[Shantara]

I'm an adult rider (haha, it still feels odd referring to myself as an adult!) and I was thinking about doing -

"Best rider" and "Best turned out" although I don't think I'll win either, I want him to get as much experience from this show as possible

Also, does anyone know what sort of whips you can take in-hand? I seem to have misplaced my proper cane I do doubt he'll need one though!

Local level, I'd just be clean and tidy as possible. Shorter whip, in brown if possible but black will do...

Ok , Ive not been in classes specifically for Best Rider or Turnout , these have been awarded as the judge felt on the whole field . But I guess , tack clean tidy, no bling , not sure about crop/cane but not schooling whip . The overall picture should be pleasing to look at . Quarter marks if needed/suitable , plaiting again if suitable and a good job ( better neat mane than bad plaits !). At the end of the day its what the judge likes .
Im sure someone will have been in these classes and be able to say what is suitable .

Thanks

It's as local as it can get really! Ned doesn't even have to leave his field

Just make sure both you and your horse are as sparkling clean and gleaming as possible. All tack spotless, if possible get someone to give your boots a wipe over on the sole once your on to take away and tiny bits of mud. If you don't have a suitable, discreet whip then don't carry one at all.

Oh! And the most importantest thing of all to wear is a smile!

Thanks! Good plan, I'll have some baby wipes on hand

White jods are a big no no for showing.
