Brown or Black Boots?

Question:

Hi Claire,

I have recently bought a new horse and wish to start showing with her.

She has been beautifully produced and although she is only 6 years old, she has been to the big shows in England, and done well [always in the ribbons]

I haven’t partaken in much showing at all, apart from the annual local show, and that was with my hairy cob.

My new mare is a black tobiano 15hh Coloured Native [Traditional x Welsh D]

She has a green passport as part bred Welsh, and is registered with CHAPS & BSPA

My question is, for local and county shows, can I wear long brown boots for showing her?

They are the Mountain Horse Sovereigns, and although I do have a pair of black Sergio Grasso boots, the MH Sovereigns look so much smarter than the Sergios do in black.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Many thanks
Anna

Answer:

Dear Anna

Thank you for your question.  

For local shows or wet days I would use your brown boots.  But ideally for county shows it would be better to wear your black boots.   

I do hope this will help you and the very best of luck for the season.

Kind regards

Claire
