I know it is traditional to use red, white and blue, but can you use any colour ribbons in tails?

I've seen several different colour combinations used but as I'm not a showing person I can't say what is correct.

I was hoping others would come and post as I know you can indeed use other colours. (editing because it's early morning and that didn't post the way I wanted it to read  I'm glad Pam's posted to tell you already!) I think it was HeatherA who used pastel colours for her ponies when she was showing. I loved seeing the pale colours used for the tail  |

Pretty sure any colour is fine. Saying that I do tend to stick to red, white and blue although Pait has different this year  |

Thats great Thanks. Thinking of tying (no pun intended) in the colour of the ribbons to match the check in my jacket and tie.

I used different colours to be slightly different to the norm and the colours seemd to go well with my pony

I used different colours as people assumed my horses kicked and/or were stallions when I used red, white and blue and used to have a go at me about it. I moved to maroon and green for a while then to green and blue, never made any difference to our placings but they looked nice. I think ribbons matching your jacket would be lovely.

I went through a phase of brown with a burbery check, I also did a short red and blue with a long thin white third ribbon, whatever you want really.

This is our new look. Need to trim the ribbons a bit shorter I think  |

Sorry for the newbie question but what are the ribbons for? I was always told that only horses who were kickers (red ribbon), green/novice (green ribbon) or stallions (yellow ribbon) wore ribbons in the tail with the exception of heavy horses. Is it a breed thing?

Yes, it's a traditional breed thing. |
