I have a 16.2 coloured horse that is shown as a sports horse. In the ridden classes he always wears his show bridle with Pelham bit and two reins. He is going to a show (qualifier) next sunday but only in hand. When we have shown him in hand before he HATES being in hand in the Pelham with two reins but have had great success with an in hand bridle. I understand that all hunters of ridden age should ideally be shown in a bridle with Pelham etc but have been told that sports horse can either have a snaffle bridle or in hand bridle.
The BSPA rule book is slightly ambiguous as one section says snaffle and in the helpful hints at the back its says Pelham and two reins.
Question is-can I show him in hand in a normal snaffle bridle or an in hand bridle, I'm very confused.
Many thanks. Photo of in hand bridle and his show bridle with pelham
