I'm getting ready for a show in Blackfoot Idaho, and I will be showing in liberty, halter, doing versitility, and driving. It will be hot...probably in the 100's, and the indoor arena will be like an oven!!!
So, I'm looking in my closet and trying to decide what I can wear. I have a bright pink light weight sweaterish sort of thing that I can put over white pants to show in halter. If my husband and I are showing in liberty, I suppose we should look similar, but I haven't the foggiest idea of what to put us in! We both have white shirts...short sleeved and long...and I think we both have black pants.
For versitility, I could do a black blouse with long, sheer sleeves that has white trim, and wear the white pants...(if they stay clean from halter!
) Or I could wear them with black pants. I don't see myself running with Bilbo through the jumps wearing a skirt!
I WAS planning on wearing a creme colored crepe back silk blouse and a vest with a long black skirt for driving. But I can see myself sweating like a pig in it before my first class!
Silk is beautiful, until it gets those yucky stain marks under the arm pits!
Now, I do have a lovely black crepe dress, that is cool and comfy to wear...however it is sleeveless. It matches my black hat, and will be very practical...but is it suitable to wear in the showring? I will be driving in Ammy, Ladies, and maybe a Stakes class. I will also drive in the obstacle class. Is there anything worse that watching a fat sweaty woman in a showring???
Okay, one more thing....I have a pair of brown gloves, and a pair of black. Do I wear gloves which compliment my outfit (black) or match my reins (brown)? The reins are black by the bit, and brown where my hands go...Or should I just wear one of each??
Okay, I'm packing, but I'll be watching for your advice!!!!! (can you tell I'm getting excited about this???)
