I am doing a little walk and trot dressage test at my riding club tomorrow - I joined last week for the Versatile Horse test and found out that this W&T was within hacking reach.
"It's not formal" they said.
It dam* well is! I have had to buy (from the top down) - a hat cover for my helmet, a shirt and tie, a black jacket, pale jods and even some cheap jod boots and gaiters because "We don't accept boots with suede on them". At least my black gloves are, apparently, allowable!
This has meant a frantic rush round today and £200. Jeepers!
I wish I had had longer to prepare, I could have bought stuff on eBay and gone to sales etc. But it's so soon I just had to go with local tack shops. Now when I open my wallet, moths fly out :banghead:
