Saddle pads for showing

So I finally got the Hufglocken Mattes pads in ordered during the holiday sale, and I’m wondering if I might be able to use one of them for showing. The rule book states “white or conservative color”—the pad is very pale silver, with black trim and silver and green piping.

I’ve never branched out from white—and will absolutely have a plain white one in the trailer!—but does this seem within the rules? The rest of attire is very conservative and non-blingy.

For some reason cant see the pictures, but this should be fine from your description.

Weird. It looks like it uploaded, but as soon as I navigate away from the page, it disappears for me, too.

Thanks, was figuring what is essentially very light grey would probably fall within “conservative” but branching out from black and white is a little scary :sweat_smile:

There’s a COTH problem with images that the developers are working on, so no one can see pics for now :slight_smile: but you can click on them and open them in a separate window.

That being said, that pad is fine :slight_smile:

Thanks! Looking forward to hopefully using it next weekend :slight_smile:

Oh, I see the same problem with the smilies, too.

I think that qualifies as a conservative color. You could always ask the TD just to ease your concerns though. However, are your breeches white, or light grey? Mixing white and something close to white, the near-white item can end up looking dingy, so you might want to see how it all looks together before the show.

What outerbanks77 said. :slight_smile: Not much else to add, but good luck at the show and have fun!

Oh, good thoughts on the breeches. I only have white (or beige). I’ll have to check them out togther.

Or finally track down a pair of light grey…they’re difficult to find in full seats!

Maybe these? https://fitsriding.com/collections/breeches/products/performax-zip-front-slash-pocket-full-seat-breech-sahara?variant=32150844506154
