Aunt Esther on 2022 Dressage Attire

[tamaraintn]

Aunt Esther ! Finally some decorum has returned to the horse fashion world welcome back (kiss-kiss)

[hoopoe]

@Calvincrowe

Let your horses shine, your riding be invisible and your coat be plain navy or black!

or very very very darkest green

[Everythingbutwings]

100% dear hoopoe!

…I am running to go and get my pearls!!!

[ThreeWishes]

Aunt Esther.
Deep breath….
Please forgive me for I have sinned.

It’s been 2 years since I bought a navy coat for the hunter ring. On a whim last month I purchased a gorgeous rum raisin hunt coat. It’s very dark and from afar it does not look like I am going to a Prince concert. Please absolve me of my sins.
Amen
But I absolutely love it!!!

It’s 2/22/2022 and Aunt Ester has reappeared. I need to go buy a lottery ticket!

One purchases them and puts them on for each and every dressage test. Even walk-trot children on Shetties in European competitions are in white gloves, as it is a requirement. So please be still about

Except…The problem with gloves is they do not fit over my ring

[RugBug]

Oh dearest of Aunts, your ability to get me out of my retired stupor to come cheer on your impeccable manners and your glorious turns of phrase knows no bounds.

[see_u_at_x]

Oh, Aunt Esther, you have been so missed! Your post was just the ticket to cheer my spirit on this blustery day.

And how delightful to see some names respond to your post that I haven’t seen in quite some time!

[Cowgirl]

Claps Excitedly Oh where can I get Wonder Women boots and cape, now that it’s allowed?

[poltroon]

My compliments to the person who put together that guide… it is truly… inspired.

[cattywampus]

… So, in driven dressage, I am obliged to dress conservatively according to the styles of the current day, without gaudy trappings or period detail, but I could change disciplines and develop a taste for gaudy neckwear? Even embrace a Victorian Vampire aesthetic? Mr O’Pony is fortunate that he was never started under saddle.

Does this mean they’ve been lurking only? How do they constrain themselves that way? Especially in this Covid social desert?

Aunt Esther is never bored

@Aunt_Esther_Returns

One is showing the partnership between oneself and one’s horse, not oneself and one’s Bedazzler.

(snort!)

Oh, Aunt Esther, we’re so happy to see you again!

One has a hole crafted in one’s glove so the ring can shine through.

I just skip the entire dilemma and simply wear a tiara.

[frugalannie]

Like Stephen Colbert’s?

[eightpondfarm]
