Hi all
just checking up on what is the go re jodphur colours in ARC dressage comps?
the woman at horseland tried to tell me that white is the go, but as far as i knew white was reserved for higher levels outside ARC
so...what's appropriate?
oh while we're here - do people still dressage plait with white tape?
RIP Jazzy...you were my heart, my soul and my wings, i will never forget you!

Yep, check with your club .... I have seen clubs ride in black jods at competition !
Most would use an off white, beige, yellowy, creme, champagne
(what ever you want to name all these light colours) and of course white !
If you like the tape - use it ! I have seen it around .... if you don't have big sausage plaits and you cut the tape in half it actually looks nice  I have seen 30+YO people ride with little bows in their horses plaits in dressage   
But again - what ever you like  Have fun !
Cheers MARTINA

Sounds like your talking about the Windsor jods in Apricot!! If you are they are a lovely color.
Wat everyone else said, doesn't really matter as long as your club doesn't specify a particular color.
As for the plaits, I went to my first comp in 15ish years a few years ago and my horse had the old golf ball plaits and I wore my hair in a bun!!!   Still had a great day though and still at it about 6 years later.
|
yup that's them! extremely comfy too i might add
what do you mean by your hair in a bun? i always had mine in a plaited bun with a net and scrunchie or similar, dressage or show? what the hell do ppl do with long hair now? lol
i do nice horse plaits, dressage or rubber band pony cub or sewn in for shows, mine generally look good, and looking at pics it seems anything goes atm as long as its neat
RIP Jazzy...you were my heart, my soul and my wings, i will never forget you!

Your right Jazir, as long as it is neat and tidy then it doesn't really matter what or how.
I now wear my long hair in a tidy pony tail and usually tie in a small ribbon in my club color, that's for ARC. For EV I leave out the ribbon.
What ever you wear, plait, do, have a fun time and enjoy being out and about with your horse.

I use banana or a paler banana. I would invest in white for when I finally hit official but they'll never stay clean!

As far as I'm concerned, every competition is a turnout! As a mark of respect for the judges, organisers, your horse and yourself, you should always be well presented. White/cream breeches, a long sleeved shirt (preferably with french cuffs and cuff links), a stock and vest. Even the vest gets up my nose - why can't we wear jackets in HRCAV? And don't tell me they're too expensive, as you can get a generic brand jacket for about $100 these days. Polo shirts are for x-country and riding at home, not the dressage arena. Oh, and I always, always have sewn in plaits. You wouldn't wear jeans to a wedding, so why the casual approach to competion wear? Am I a diva/ up myself? Possibly, but I don't spend hours training my horses to go out looking like I couldn't give a toss.

Was going to ignore this ... but I can't.
I do give a toss about looking clean, neat and tidy.  I will compete at ARC in a polo shirt, tucked in with a belt on my breeches, and it looks quite smart. I've seen people wearing jackets who look more like they don't care how they look.
Many people I know who compete at HRCAV events won't do EA events because they are intimidated by those that wear those really top line jackets and use uber expensive gear and ride pricey horses. I used to compete EFA all the time when I was younger. I went to a comp to watch not that long ago and felt freaked out at the thought of all that work just to look the part again. I can't face it just yet. Give me time ... I'll be brushing stray hairs off my jacket and getting mad about slobber on my breeches the way I used to.
Wearing polos or vests isn't about not looking smart. It's about looking smart, having a team look, building team spirit, and it's meant to be fun! You can't build up a sense of security about competing until you feel comfortable and start hankering for more. Few years time I'll have my tails ... Right now though I'll remember how to put the whole compeition day together without another layer of stress.

wow thats formal and yes i have worn jeans to weddings and funerals as long as you are neat and tidy it doesn't matter i personally prefer competing in black or dark blue jods jackets are a no no in hrcav and i for one like it that way!!!!
most of it is about fun and doing your best its not all about turnout. its about neat tidy comfortable and happy. and by the way i do dressage in a 90 year old light horse saddle i suppose thats not good enough either, or how about showing and jumping in my stockie? i am happy so is my horse and thats what is important.

You may consider my approach formal, but dressage is a formal discipline and the etiquette involved is very important to me. I'm not suggesting you should have new/super expensive everything, nor am I trying to intimidate anyone. I ride EFA in a ten year old jacket, but it is beautifully cut and it fits!!
I find the whole process of turning out my horse and myself great fun, and not at all stressful, but then again I will stop in the middle of a hunt to re-apply my lipstick!

Like everyone else has said, check your club colours But what is out there is usually cream, beige, banana, white, apricot, and black although I have seen a Beveridge rider riding in green, purely because they're colours are green and gold. At my old club a lady usually rode in navy because our colours were navy and light blue.

Our club uniform is a polo shirt (pictured in the photo in my previous post). We are a small NSW club and don't have fancy vests, jackets, or long sleeved shirts. Actually I'm pretty much our only member who regularly competes in HRCAV events bar a couple of others who do it every now and again.
Wearing my HRCAV uniform is a mark of respect to the judges and to the HRCAV. And so what if it includes a (clean, ironed, embroidered) polo shirt? I wear it with pride to represent my club.
