Suitable for M&M?

[Merri]

Thank you to everyone for all your patience thus far!

Would this jacket be suitable for my 15 yo daughter for M&M ridden?

I like the muted green, & I think that the pink is very pretty, but would that appear unworkmanlike ? (IYSWIM??)

If so, what colour shirt & tie would go best?

Thank you!

I have that jacket , I got it a couple of years ago about half that price on equestrian clearance as I had grown out of my other. I wear it on a chestnut (welsh)and use a burgundy tie (cream shirt). I'll see if I have a pic. It's a nice lightweight jacket IMO and ermm I'm not so au fait with connies but M+M jackets have certainly got a lot less workmanlike and far more bling than that one in recent years!

Hasn't everything!!! I am returning to the world of horses after a 20 year gap, & I am astonished by how much fancy stuff there is!!
Thank you for your reply, I would love to see a photo of you, if you have one

thanks, he's a good semi-retired egg. I do have a more traditional proper hunting tweed too (or two) but I think this one looks nicer and the pink is very subtle. The only think people might not be sure about is the lack of contrasting collar? I figured it wasn't going to fade like the navy ones do!

Its the dark jackets with the orange stripes (with orange ties) that get me in the section Ds.

You don't want to!! there was a connie last year with the rider in pink, I'm sure the owners had given it plenty of thought but what possessed them to think it looked good I have no idea, you need to stand out because the pony is going well not because you give the judge a headache, keep to something simple and you will still get noticed if the pony is good enough.

Good advice, thank you
