What are the 'in' looks for 2008 for the show ring?

-Colors?
-Bling?
-Etc.?

I need to buy my show attire and need some help doing so.

BLINGLESS! Please. The occasional bling thing happens and it makes everyone sad. The only exception is a shimmery coat lining. That's about all I can do- I tend to wear what I feel like wearing.

I've only been to one show this year, but I'm not seeing anything overtly blingy or trendy. My girlfriend wore rust breeches (which I love!), but she's the only person I saw with them.

So I'd say this year's trend is classic elegance. Let your horse's beauty and your riding be your bling. :lol:

I'm wearing my CO GR8...is that what it's called? But, its considered 'unacceptable' for the Arabian show ring...

Awesome considering how much they cost! So, I guess that will be my schooling helmet.

I guess I'll be buying a Hampton :D

My daughter wears a CO in both the Arabian ring and open rings! Her poor Mom (me) wears an IRH in both rings! We will wear what is the Hunter trend because it looks nice and isn't overly flashy!

Really?

My trainers keep telling me that I should not wear it at shows. He said I need to wear a more traditional velvet helmet.

What does your daughter show? Sporthorse division, right?

My horse is strictly a Hunter Pleasure horse....maybe equitation at some point in the future.

What region are you in? Do you ever show in Region 9?

Jealous... the MINUTE I find one on sale... I am going for it!

I feel like I am seeing more and more black jackets. Not plain black, but black with some sort of windowpane/pattern. And a lot more GR8s too!

My MIL bought it for me for Christmas...she's a keeper!

I agree on both counts...my trainer just switched to a GR8 for shows, and got a black Grand Prix coat with a windowpane and lavendar lining. Very pretty!

I have a CO GR8 and love it!! Some people were wearing bling on their helmets but all that does is blind the onlookers. <_<

I got a black on black windowpane jacket with a cardinal lining. It's lovely. I wear it with one of the white on white Essex with contrasting inside collar and cuffs.

I remember when I first saw the GR8- my coach was wearing it at a show and I was *appalled*. I thought it was the ugliest thing to have ever graced the planet and I was stunned she'd even put it on her head. However, my opinions since then have evolved and I now think they are rather lovely looking. In fact I am quite jealous of my team mates an their GR8s. I'm just behind the fashion curve with a velvet ATH, my next helmet will be a GR8. We show dressage, by the way, if that makes a difference.
