In hand class, what do I wear?!!

[smoo1604]

Hello everyone!

I am taking my two yr old to some in hand classes this year, he is tb x coloured cob stallion (we think, def out a tb mare though!) and is skewbald, I have a brown bridle, not an inhand bridle but it has a rubber in hand bit on it and I have been practising leading him in it etc, he will be shown plaited. The problem is, what on earth do I wear!?! I have a navy velvet show hat with flesh strap. And have be lent a brown Jeffries show cane with silver (from memory) top. What trousers, shirt, tie, gloves, waistcoat(?) should I wear PLEASE!

Here is a picture of tonto!

Thanks in advance for any advice!!

There's another thread on here asking a similar question with various pics of people showing their coloureds, I will see if I can find it and copy the link for you, but you will need dark trousers in contrast with his white legs, I would personally wear brown but it's personal preference

thanks lisa! i was thinking about it today again and though darker trousers be better to show off his legs! i shall read through that thread too!

Do you think a bridle with flat noseband and browband look better than raised? i think i am just gonna use a riding bridle instead of an in hand one?

thanks again

Yes I would say flat plain hunter noseband and plain flat browband x
