tweed jackets

[nutnutsophie]

right i am just starting out showing and not really sure what i need. i know i need a tweed showing jacket but not sure what colour i need ?

 

[Derfette]

What type of horse have you got and what classes were you thinking of entering?

 

[nutnutsophie]

this is my pony i will be showing

i want to show her as fair as we can get

 

[Derfette]

She is an absolute cutie!!! Her markings are beautiful!!

I would say, due to her colouring, a brown based tweed would be best. A cream or even yellow shirt is more than acceptable together with a tie that matches (if possible) your jacket colour. Worn with smart trousers, dark coloured as her legs are white and sensible running shoes, I'm sure you'll really look the part! Good luck and have a great summer with her.

lok thank u so much also what about a waistcoat ?

 

[Derfette]

If it's only local unaffilliated showing you'll be doing for now, I wouldn't worry about a waistcoat, have fun!

I agree, a brown waistcoat would look great. Absolutely gorgeous horse by the way, looks like an absolute darling.

Having fun at the shows!

I showed my Fell pony in a checked waistcoat I bought off ebay last year at local level. Was much cooler in the summer but more importantly was much cheaper than a tweed jacket!

A she's not a little show-pony type I'd stick to mute colours with the waistcoat. Mustard is common, browns etc. Stay away from navy and black as they won't suit her type.

Yeah a mustard coloured on will be nice - you'll also need a hat !!

as for dark pants I got a pair of cords off ebay for 99p that look really smart
