Hi and welcome. Im sure there was a similar thread posted on here just a few weeks ago. Cant find it a present.

Hi, I replied on your other thread but to cover all the bases, the tweed can be any colour but it's good if it complements your horse, a white shirt is desirable, and your hair should be very tidy - inside your hat, or in a net, or plaited/put up neatly. If you're showing in hand it seems to be usual to wear a non-safety hat in a style that suits you.

I wore a shirt and tie when I showed my pony because I like a shirt and tie.

thankyou very much lovely horse!!

Thank you, he was the pony of my heart. He died two years ago, alas. But I just got a new pony (there are lots of threads about him) so things are looking up!

That is an adorable pony. Also, nice suit, by the way. And, sorry for your lost and congratulations on the new pony.
