Hi,

Very new to hunting so apologies if this is a very stupid question, but I do understand some tack is preferred over others so I thought it would be best to check. I'm also recently relocated from the states so still adjusting to everything over here!

My very sensitive tb goes best in her ps of sweden anatomical bridle. Would this cause any issue while hunting? I have never used it in an all day session, but I know my mare prefers going in it.

Also, is my 5 point breastplate alright?

Just wanting to check with the seasoned hunters before I show up and get some odd looks! :)

You can use whatever bridle works. There is traditional "correct " tack but at the end of the day, it's better to be safe and have a happy horse!
No bling, no shiny stuff and some of the drag packs I believe don't approve of saddle cloths but otherwise have fun!

I think these days most people would rather see a horse ridden happily in an anatomical (or any other) bridle than presented in traditional tack that clearly isn't comfortable or working. There are very good practical reasons for the traditional turnout but the style of bridle really doesn't matter. Just enjoy your day. :)
