Hi first post so be gentle lol ... My hubbie will be showing our ISH Filly inhand who will be a yearling in march, the show is not until may which is in belfast ( balmoral show) ... What would you recommend ( dress code ) ... he really does not want to wear a hat ... does he have to ? ... he has strawberry blonde/ginger hair so not every colour will go ... the filly is bay with black points on the legs no white markings , she is currently 15.2hh . He is not horsey at all lol but i have to say leads her very well, I mean dont get me wrong , he helps me out any time and I have seen him talk away to her but ssshhuusshhh dont tell him that, I think its very sweet of him though  .. Advice please xx |

Balmoral is a big show, so he's definately going to have to be smart (and wear a hat unfortunately). Men tend to wear a shirt and tie with sturdy shoes/boots (brown or black), then usually a jacket with trousers eg www.langallerfarm.co.uk/admin/gallery/10%20-%20filly.jpg or a suit. With a tweed jacket he could wear a flat cap, bowler or suede type hat. A bowler is more correct with a suit. He will look out of place without a hat, he'll only be looking like everyone else if he wears one  |

Ok heres what I was thinking ... Cream coloured trousers ( filly has black legs) ... Brown jacket or dark green jacket ? no idea what colour of shirt or tie ....he suits tans, browns that sort of thing , remember hes got ginger/strawberry blonde hair .
NOW ... about the hat ... his words are something like ... "Im not bleeping wearing a hat :S :S .... hmmmm what to do what to do .

Large shows often won't allow you in the ring without a hat, so he must take one "just in case" at least, or you may have gone for nothing.

My new OH loves to do stewarding and a bit of inhand showing he wears dk brown boots drk beige trousers a green/brown tweed jacket [which we got for £10 at the E of E show!!] and cream shirt ...the tie colour is hotly debated depending on the horse being shown..green for my chestnut,blue for the greys and red for the bays and coloureds he wears a bowler for the bigger shows and flat cap for others he wears his aussie leather hat sometimes for stewarding...keeps the rain off [and the snow!]
I just love to see a chap with a bowler and a cob
