Babies and Neck straps... surely not just me??

Secret confession alert. We were competing as individuals in the RC dressage championships. Horse threw an unexpected giant spook at nothing just as the bell rang.

I hooked both little fingers round my hunting breastplate and entered the arena. Completed the test without further incident. Got placed!

I now always ride with a breastplate or neck strap, or maybe both. Some horses feel restricted by a breastplate, I find, but a neck strap is fine.
