What noseband thickness for a hunter bridle? and a couple of showing questions!

[maxine1985]

Need to get my ISH a hunter bridle as going to do abit of local showing (ridden hunter) with him, may even do SFAS (cant decide if he's good enough!) Want to do some workers with him next year!

What width noseband should i go for, 1 1/2 or 2 inch?

Few pics, not the best but give an idea of head size!








Few quick questions!
What shirt and tie colour for Green tweed jacket?
Is brown gloves correct?
Whip or showing cane?
No numnah (saddle fits well) or discreet fitted one?

Thank you everyone in advance

I think a 2 inch would swamp his head so would go for a 11/2, he almost looks more riding horse than hunter but the photos do not really show all of him.
Shirt cream or pale yellow, tie can really be anything that you like.
Brown gloves, show cane, a numnah can be used but it is up to you, if the judge is riding and is heavy it may help to have one.

He is a very attractive horse and that jumping technique should mean he could do really well as a worker.

Thank you, thats great, he's 3/4 ID so was thinking he's more hunter than riding horse, he's quite chunky up close! But his head does look finer than some hunters so 1 1/2 inch was what i was thinking

He is more chunky than his head suggested, no bad thing to have such a nice head and a great colour too

What a lovely head, go for a 1 1/2 inch noseband. Shirt wise yellow or blue both cover dirt better than white and a subtle tie. I buy school shirts and my ties are cheapies from M&S. Brown gloves, brown cane. Numnah on a grey can be either the colour of the saddle or white, seen both, just make them discrete.
