Is it okay to use a monogrammed saddle wipe contained by Dressage shows?
I want to get my friend a saddle pad with her horse's label stitched into it for Christmas. She needs a fancy white pad she can use for shows, but I'm not sure whether it will be allowed if it has the horse's name on it. I know Dressage have a really strict dress code :/
It won't be allowed in the show ring but a monogrammed pad is always fun for practice!
Of course you can(as long as it is for a local schooling show)! I use all of my monogramed pads! When you view the Olympics, you can see that theirs are monogramed (with the flag, but still.)
For small shows it will be fine.
For a low rank show its fine, but for higher levels its definetely not okay.
Idk, I don't think so. Maybe for a small show.
no- it is not allowed contained by dressage, but that is a really thoughtful gift
Answers: Yes, it is. As long as it is within a certain size and is not offensive or distracting. I rode at a Two-day acknowledged dressage show that benefited Research on Breast Cancer (www.pvdarideforlife.org, great show!) and I rode my horse in a saddle pad that had the Breast cancer ribbon on it and it be fairly big. Nobody said anything, but maybe that was because it be themed and they were happy to see it, not quite certain. But I have seen upper level riders use logos on their pad (Isabell Werth, Catherine Haddad just to name a few) So as long as it is not offensive or distracting afterwards yes, it is allowed in the dressage arena.
