Do you reckon I should throw in some white bandages and white showbows in with my order?

 

[scotsmare]

Personally I hate showbows and you can only use bandages in the warm up.

 

[Bay_Beasty]

White bandages are a pain to get off before the test, go for white stretch and flex boots of something that velcro on and off and defo no bows, I think they look a bit twee and my horse is already a little gay and I don't want to excentuate (sp) it, but that's me. I also thought show bows were for showing classes and not dressage.
