Brown boots in hunters

Cute ponies! I like the chestnut, what a cute jumper! Well at least you got a couple good pictures. Maybe you should photoshop the boots pink.

I am not of significant vintage but I love all things traditional (with the appropriate dose of modern convenience). I show locally in my brown field boots, partly because I’m a little fluffy for my black dress boots, and mostly because I just like them. If/when I do rated shows again, I would wear brown for a USHJA class and black for the AA or AO division.

She’s so fun; she had a blast out there. I on the other hand spent both rounds just asking her to not GALLOP the whole thing. We are currently working on remembering that it actually is important to jump the middle of the jump and not the standard or something :joy:

They are beautiful but I think I fall off too much to wear something that costs that much :laughing:

The opportunity to show in a Barbie outfit with a sparkly browband is truly my primary motivation for planning to do some dressage competitions in the future. :slight_smile:

Oh, absolutely! You need the pink sparkly browband. (My poor boy, haha.)

I am clearly not knowledgable about hunter classes.

What is a “USHJAclass”?

and now there’s the faux field boots with zippers - many don’t even truly lace.
for the OP - brown boots/field boots would be considered informal and worn in “informal” classes which most hunter classes are. Formal classes would be your classic or derbies. Back in the day they had other formal classes.
FWIW - in hunters - brown gloves are actually more appropriate than black. The only hunter class still judged on attire is ladies side saddle which says “brown gloves”. Brown and blue helmets are making a comeback but velvet or velvet like seems to be disappearing

Classes held at different heights that are open to all entries. Horses, ponies, juniors, amateurs, professionals, etc., etc.

MHM beat me to it. I use it as a mid-week warm up before my “real” division.

When I return in my next life, I am buying that teal jumper jacket because clearly it was made just for me. :heart_eyes:

The problem with having a Chestnut horse. Pink clashes horribly!

I thought that, too, until I saw someone’s pic on here and I copied her outfit with pale pink shirt & brown coat. A bright pink coat? Yeah, prob not.

I would have given up teeth to have had brown boots to go with this

That does look nice… I do have lovely brown boots :slight_smile:

But my (dressage) show outfit has settled to navy and white. It looked pretty sharp with my brown boots, but I just got a super deal on a pair of dark navy Petrie dressage boots with a very narrow rim of blue/grey leopard print around the top. I’m currently working on breaking them in before a clinic in April…
