Here's why:
* No Color Restrictions: There are no breed or color-specific rules in XC.
* Safety Focus: The primary focus is on safety and visibility. Horses are often required to wear brightly colored saddle cloths or numnahs to stand out against the green landscape.
* Personal Preference: Riders may choose colors based on their personal preference or to match their riding attire.
So, a dapple grey horse could wear any color saddle cloth or numnah for XC, as long as it's visible and meets the competition requirements.
