Men showing in hand

[mike1251]

If I were to show a pony in hand what would I wear, as I dont ride at alli have no horse related clothing. If I were to show a 2yo hunter type in hand would it be the same.
There doesn't seem many men doing in hand ponies

you should wear a tweed jacket, shirt and tie, and dark trousers, or a tweed suit. shoes that you can run in that look discreet - jod boots or similar.

Blooming eck! Id have to buy a whole new wardrobe:D

A plain suit would do with a bowler perhaps!

As above, you would definately need a hat of some kind, gloves and a show cane.

Not sure about the trouser colour. Its normally light trousers for dark horse legs and vice versa, dont think that would be different for men.

I think the clothes question is answered but I just thought I'd let you know that there are loads of men that do inhand :)

Varkie - OMG how cute are your ponies! they are FAB

At the show's we've been too this year, I'd say over half of the "in hands" are shown by men

My OH shows our D mare in hand cream trousers, shirt and tie and hat -no jacket want to be sure he is serious before we invest in jacket for him:)

Try E-Bay for jacket, and I got my husbands showing trousers from Tesco for £7!
