 Hi Vicki,
Thanks for your question. Your little daughter
can show without gloves (it's pretty much always
an option, but they add a formal touch in classes
where the rider is judged...) or you can try to
dye some.
To dye gloves, find some nylon gloves at a wedding
supply store and buy 3 pairs. Cut up one glove
of one pair to make some test dip strips, then
boil up a mess of Rit or Tintex dye (usually you
can find it at the drug store) and start experimenting.
Make sure the gloves and test strips are wet before
you put them in the dye, and remember the strips
will look quite a bit darker wet than dry- use
a blow dryer to hasten drying to check them. For
your pale bone color, you might only put in a
couple granules of brown and a pinch of yellow-
it will take several test strips until you get
close. When you're looking good, put in all five
gloves and let them steep for say 10 minutes,
then take them out and allow them to air dry.
Now you have 2 1/2 pairs of gloves in that special
color, so you can lose a couple and still be OK!
Good Luck, thanks for asking, and have fun-
