...you use a shaped numnah under your saddle instead of a white square? I know they are meant to judge the performance of the horse and rider, not the tack-but they are human!
I've checked the rules - if we go affiliated again, then numnahs are allowed, but would I risk getting off on the wrong hoof, and possibly throwing away a precious mark or two, even if its a subconcious reaction from the judge?
I have fairly short-backed TB's, and in my opinion they look a bit daft in a square - and I simply prefer a neat, shaped numnah - it also gives a smaller sweat patch, and they are easier to clean!
