What kind of hat do you wear for dressage?

[Fanatical]

I have realised that I possibly look a tad scruffy when I do dressage..! I do BE and BD in my crash hat with black silk. Last year I was thinking about getting a beagler (sp?!) but with the new rules this year for the lower levels BE, I'm glad I didn't. However, I still think I need something a bit smarter.

So, what do you all wear and do you wear different hats for BE and BD..?

I'm lazy so wear my skull cap for everything
However sister does some showing so bought a blue seude effect cover for her skull cap which looks smarter, may be worth a go?

I wear a velvet hat with flesh harness for both BE/BD tests, usually wear a skull for SJ.

Tend to wear HS1 for everything...although do have velvet but it was a christmas present and i'm not particularly keen on it so only wear it when aunt comes and watches

Have a look at the Charles Owen velvet hats with flesh harnesses. They look very smart and I always wore mine for SJ & dressage (where the rules states that a harness had to be fitted for dressage, i.e. riding club events).

I just wear my skull cap for everything- dressage, SJ, XC and riding at home!

Thanks all. Might see if I can have a look at the Charles Owen Velvet hats see how they look. Currently do everything in the HS1 just with different silks..!

Check out the new Charles Owen Fiona hat - it's been designed for the showing market and is sooo much thinner than all the others; while being fully up to standard.
