Do you wear a stock or tie?
What colour do you wear?
If stock do you wear a stock pin with it?
Can i see pics?! :P

My tweed has yellow and navy running through it, its a dark green tweed with half navy velvet collar.
For dressage am thinking a navy stock but am having trouble finding a plan one - they all seem to have spots and stars or checked?
Pony is welsh D and black (well very dark brown) with white blaze and 1 white sock,3 white stockings, he wears brown tack.

Al has a navy stock with tiny white polkadots on it, and a plain gold safety pin lookalike stock pin.

This shows it best :) Although the stock is usually better tied!
 
I use a navy striped tie, a burgundy dotted tie, or a green dotted stock :p depending on what's to hand!

And a gold coloured stock pin with a brown (non blingy- not diamanté an actual non sparkling stone) stone in it :)
 
White stock and simple pin. Sometimes worn a shirt and maroon tie but only as I've forgotten stock and the tie is in my hat bag, legacy of showing days.

Almost identical to this!
 
Brown tweed with mustard and green running through it, mustard stock with navy polka-dots and gold pin. Coincidentally my cross country colours are also navy and yellow so my stock looks really smart and matching when I leave it on underneath my XC colours.
 
Another with a pony club stock but not the pc stock pin. Have a gold bar with a little pearl on it or a gold pin one, just depends which one I pick up first.
 
I wear a goldy coloured stock with a gold stock pin. Same as I wear for eventing. Look at the website for the silk route they have the most amazing stocks in all different colours. They are a bit pricey but we'll worth the money
 
I'm a bit different, I went for a pale stock, but thankfully my tweed is pale & has pink running through it - I have to steer clear of too much dark colour as it makes me look ill(er than I usually am!)

And you can tell I usually avoid photos... didn't know this one was being taken, clearly! :D
 
I wear exactly the same as I do for showing which is a red and white tie. It used to be red with white spots but that ie unfortunatly died after a wet show last year (where it was so wet the red die ran out of the tie and into my shirt and bra!).

I then bought a very unusual Red tie with white boxes and crosses on

My tweed is mustard coloured with bright red over check

The only difference to the below pic is that for dressage I wear light gloves and pony has a white saddle cloth

I have a Champion Ventair skull cap, with a navy velvet cover... Classy I know, but it gets too expensive replacing two hats every three or four years/ every fall on my head... however it doesn't look too bad.

I don't have a picture with my stock shirt, stock and fawn gloves, but this is us at a hunter show with tie etc, shows my hat and tweed together.

Al has a skull cap with a navy silk on it- one of the Treehouse silk ones, with the ties that go round with a bow in the front.

She's a bit old-school eventer in her style!
 
They are the best silks ever and if they fly away they stay attached for easy recuing!

Same as Al but with a velvet hat cover over my pink HS1 (it was cheap is my excuse as I hate pink)

I went with a checked navy and white stock in the end, thought it would tie in with the navy running through my tweed and the navy velvet hat i have :)
