question on color of jackets at GAIG champs.

[DustInTime04]

I am riding at the GAIG championships next weekend and just bought a grey jacket. I was planning on wearing that with a grey ascot hat. I read through the rules and didn't catch anything about color exclusions, but I wanted to check on here too!

Thanks,
Katie

What is an ascot hat?

Oooooo. That sounds beautiful! I believe you are limited to a "coat of conservative color" - which you have - and a bowler or hunt cap - which you have. If you need to set your mind at ease, run it by the TD. I'll bet you'll get lots of nice compliments AND you'll set yourself apart from the sea of people in black coats. Good luck! :)

I have a gray jacket that I regularly wear at licensed competitions. I've never had anyone say a thing (other than how smart the jacket looks ;) )

It was raining like stink in this first photo, so the jacket looks far darker than it actually is...

Great pictures, Sabovee!!! Lovely canter in the downpour. Is your coat wool? How did it hold up in the rain?

You should be fine! Sounds lovely and I am sure I will see you there! Just a FYI in our region JJ Tate wears an amazing grey jacket, she even wore it at DAD. :D Good Luck at Regionals!

ETA: Where did you get the grey hunt cap?

[DustInTime04]

Thank you all! I have a rose/dapple grey, so I think it will look nice!

LD1129- I got my hunt cap through Dover Saddlery.
