I want to get a pair of jointed stirrups, but I’m not sure what color I should get on the outside covering black or white? which would be better for dressage like for showing? is there a certain color?
like the ones with the chains in them, and they have a covering over them

black would be better, because it would be less noticeable. you don’t want something that will distract the judge’s eye from the rest of your ride. (c:

   I’d say balck is best. It’s most conservative. And the white ones get stained and dirty and they really stand out aginst your black boots.Good Luck!

   i would say black, as it is the same colour as your boots. You can use them at lower level competitions but im not sure about the more formal higher level stuff. i have the black ones that i show and compete in (they aren’t to easy to jump in until you get used to them) and have never had a problem with the ‘dress code’

   I would think black, becuase of the color of the saddle, check out some olympic pics tho, im sure they have the right color!

   I would get black, as it blends in better with the saddle. Trust me, the white ones get dirty. Also, the white ones will draw more attention to your leg. This can be a bad thing if your legs aren’t exactly in te correct position or very very quiet. The same goes for gloves. FEI level riders wear white gloves because they tend to have quieter hands because they are more experienced.
