I was thinking specifically for the Dressage ring when I wrote my comment...mainly because I have very recently had this discussion with a few other people!! I haven't ever been around the showmanship/western disciplines, but I completely understand how it is fun, and perhaps necessary (for professionalism, tradition, etc) to do.<br />JSFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-52619700593290892342015-11-10T13:08:59.679-05:002015-11-10T13:08:59.679-05:00Hey Emma!

Well said, here and above :) My only other comment would be you might want to use a little brown shadow to fill in your brows, as they wind up slightly washed out, at least in this lighting (nothing more, size and shape look lovely!). I love a good excuse to get all fancy and turned out, it just doesn't often happen to coincide with my horse activities, lol!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963313242082202970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-91782239589921696592015-11-09T22:18:17.163-05:002015-11-09T22:18:17.163-05:00Hi Stacey :)

Typically at the larger shows classes are spread out of a few weeks meaning you are likely to have a class later in the day. In that case I do my makeup when my horse is eating. At the big shows there are even occasionally makeup artists like Devin Territo which is even more convenient.

Do you apply the makeup in the hotel or at Congress? <br /><br />I know that in dressage there was a makeup line for dressage riders -- some of them really do a theatrical-type makeup, but then some of the stock ties are silk and blingy, so it fits. I guess showmanship must also have sparkle and bling too?

Like I told JSF, this makeup is definitely not specified for the dressage arena. AQHA classes and Dressage classes differ tremendously in styles and to compare the two is almost unjust. This makeup is designed for a premium show in the AQHA industry and varies drastically from anything I've seen in Dressage.

I think that it is distracting from the horse and rider in the same way that bright pink boots or polos would be. More than that I think it seriously undermines the fact, which equestrians have to argue so hard for, of riding being a sport. You don't see Serena Williams, JSFnoreply@blogger.com
