thanks thelwell girl i will have a look as im hopefully going to a mini one day event with PCnot sure if we need to wear xc colours but it would be nice to see
Just need body protector and beige jods! Definately get long sleeves, some places say you have to have them for xc, if it's hot you can just wear no top under the rugby shirt. you might not have to have one made, I am quite short and largeish chested and I didn't, mine is an adult small (sizes seem to be quite generous) with a short back, the lace adjustments on the side work wonders Hi
I think you should get a rugby shirt to wear under your body protector and then a hat silk in same colour, then you have a good choice of colours and styles and it is much cheaper than getting a 'proper' xc set (I had a nag rags set but didn't like the jumper, was too bulky and expensive).
I have evented a lot in my blue/pink/white stripey joules rugby shirt and hat silk in similar colours
My colour ideas for you are - navy bp - red/navy shirt. Black bp - pink/blue(or grey) shirt.
I wouldn't worry too much about the numnah matching, my horse always used to wear her normal brown one, and I think we still looked fine.
For the bp I would just say get which ever colour goes best with what you wear, for example mine is black as most of my jods are black, everyday hat silk is black, goes with everything, etc.
), but I love pink too...I might get the navy BP cos most of my riding stuff is blue (apart from jod boots and half chaps) so it'll all match. In terms of numnah/saddlecloth I can just see what's in the 'clean' pile in the tack room, as Bonnie's the RS's, not mine She is AMAZING though, a real flying coblet Yay for racesafesRacesafe bp's are awesome btw
They just seem so comfy and unrestrictive, and having the same sort of measuremnents as you, also having a very short back, they seem ideal! I really do want one sooner rather than later, so hopefully the tack shop will have my size in stock.
