Bridle trouble!

I recently lost my confidence jumping my mare following a fall. I'm starting to get it back and want to start and compete in some working hunter classes at local or county level but she gets really excited so i tend to jump her in a grackle noseband with a three ring gag instead of a four ring. she's really comfy in both of them and they are used to help me with a bit of control. she will jump in a pelham but i'm just worried i get left behind and pull her mouth (especially with it having a curb) i just wondered what peoples opinions were on these for working hunter classes and if i can use them x

I think it would look better to put a pelham on even with roundings, you can put a leather curb on very loosely so it will not have any effect.

thank you! she has jumped in a pelham before but if i'm honest i would love to try and get her so she will jump and then come back to me in a snaffle haha xx
