Does a welsh have to be shown in a plain inhand bridle?

[welshied]

I have seen a nice in hand bridle with stitching on noseband is this too fancy for a welsh to be shown in at local level

local level probably not, depends on the stitching, if its black leather with black stitching no it should be ok.
Bright white stitching on a black leather yes!

Should really be a broad flat noseband for welshies!

Welshies can also be shown in a plain white halter.

I agree that it depends on the stitching.

mare and fillies white halter. colts, gelding and stallion in bridle. my in hand bridle has small white stitching on the nose band and a brass brow band

I think it would be ok, but I was thinking about showing my Sec B mare locally & wondered if I should show her in a plain white halter? Both my in hand bridles have fancy stitching on the noseband. Does anyone know the rules?

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

check the welsh horse society website! they have the rules! I think the smaller end of welshes are commonly shown in halters!

Depends if it's a mare, stallion or gelding we're talking about and what section of Welsh! Mares of all types are usually shown in white rope or webbing halters, geldings in in-hand bridles (plain and workmanlike with a broad noseband, no fancy stitching really) and stallions in an in-hand bridle with stallion bit, possibly brass clencher detail and often a surcingle and side reins too.
