What to do for a show
My friend who has shown before told me that i have to put my hair in a bun, and keep it off of my neck (i'm riding western and speed classes) my hair won't stay in a bun and a website that i found said that it should be worn in a low ponytail. But here's another question. Can the judge use that as leverage between a tie? If they are debating between two people do you think they would place the one with the bun? Silly question i know, but i really want to be prepared as best i can. Thank You!
Answers:The devil is in the detiails, my dear.
Yes. judges will use even this minor detail as a tie-breaker.
Put your hair in a bun. Keep it off your neck. Use styling gell to keep it in place. I have naturally frizzy hair and styling gell works for me.
OR don't put your hair in a bun and see if you place.
I'll be the first to answer. I say a low ponytail or braided because if you show western and do speed events, then the ponytail will stay in. And the bun is more English type events. I've never had a judge mark me down points because my hair was in a ponytail. Judges are to look at the horse and rider as a whole, not the individual rider. If you ride with a hat/helmet in western, then the bun actually looks sloppy.
Good luck and best of luck
Not required for any speed events in any association that I am aware of.
