Concours d’elegance Astride or Side-saddle. Judged on turnout of rider & horse plus show (please note if period costumes are to be worn please take into account the hat rule Riding Club rules apply)
well thats the name of the class ect, i would really like to have ago, but im not sure what kindof things i should wear i dont think i will be wearing a period costume tho! unless anyone wants to buy me one.
I was thinking for bonnie: double bridle with velvet browband all plated up ect saddle and just my brown numnah im not sure about white i was wondering if i should have glitter on her or not
and for me: putting on my black gaiters stock and matching scrunchie navy show jacket and navy hat not sure whether i should wear white, brown or cream coloured gloves
oh and i was wondering if i should add anything special to the show like rein back ect thanks xxx

The rest of your outfit sounds ideal, although I think a neat bun, without a scrunchie looks smarter than with a scrunchie if you're wearing a stock.

How big is your pony? and will you be turning out as a show pony or a hunter pony? That will determine whether you should be in gaiters/long boots or in short boots.
