Naners and I are going to our first recognized dressage show next weekend. As such, I'm trying to figure out how to best give the DQs heart attacks while not breaking any rules.
For example, the rule book states "saddle pads are optional, but should be white or of conservative color." What am I pondering? black with our horsemasters logo in purple on it, my favorite navy pad with the white piping and white lattice ribbon, or black with hot pink piping. Ultimately, I will probably go with my navy pad, because we look spiffy with me in my navy coat and helmet with it. I will wear my white breeches one day because I'm hoping those things will die and then I'll never have another pair unless forced to by silly attire rules. I'm doing black gloves as 1) white gloves, like white breeches, are silly 2) why in heavens would I bring more attention to my not so fabulous hands?
(Side note, even though I have noted that white gloves will bring more attention to crappy hands some of my PCers just had to go out and buy themselves some anyway.)
We're nontraditional anyway, with me in my Volants, the brown and black jumping saddle, and the fact that Naners will be fuzzy. I'm just going with that flow.
