What to wear when showing a palomino...

[Tiarella]

I am doing an in hand show at college on Friday but have no idea what to wear

She is a WBXID and very yellow palomino with no white on legs.

Any ideas? Thanks

You might be able to find the information you need at this website

I understood that you wear dark colour trousers if you have a horse with light coloured legs.

yup dark coloured trousers from a light coloured horse, dark brown might look better against a light palamino like that.

Normal show shirt, tie and tweed jacket. If you ahve a green one this will look nice against the brown and palamino colour....... I think personally.

And obviously the smart, but runable shoes (I normally wear my jod boots) hat (beagler or show hat, or a flat cowboy style hat sort of thing if you have one of those) and show cane (brown) and gloves (brown)

hope this helps!

got any pony pics?

Pointless post but I used to have a palomino that I show jumped and showed. He was totally mad at home but brilliant when competing. He seemed to have been sold about every 6 months before I bought him and I think had frightened most of his previous owners. Fortunately in those days I was pretty brave and jumping used to just let him get on with it.

Echo above if in hand wear dark trousers to contrast with light horse legs.
