Dressage & Keepers for full cheek bit

[sillygillyhorse]

Will be using this bit on saturday for some PC dressage

As it is a fixed mouthpiece and not a loose ring fulmer can I use it without keepers attatching it to the cheekpieces. Seem to remember something in BD rules but cannot remember what!

 

[KatB]

Yep you can use it without keepers

Not competing now as working, but going to wizz down to say hi and meet the lovely B after work!!

 

[sillygillyhorse]

Thanks Kat, hoped that was the answer as keepers would radically change the action of the bit!

Not taking D now so B will be doing a second test at 10.50, what time do you finish work?

Did wonder why you were not on the start list but work would explain it. Will put the kettle on a make sure there are some biscuits.

 

[KatB]

Dont finish work until 1

So may miss you. Should be there for about 20past, but wont bother if you and ISZ have already gone!!

 

[sillygillyhorse]

Suspect we will both be loaded up and away by 1.20 ish.

 

[BBs]

Why you not taking Mr D

Good luck

Bernie will ROCK

 

[KatB]

Yeah I was hoping they would just run one ring, so you wouldnt be until the afto

Never mind!!

Mr D had a slight cough and runny nose last weekend, nothing major just not quite right so had the week off and done absolutely no work! Bright enough in himself and can do some walk work again now.

Oh I am pleased hes getting better.
I remember you saying he was a bit under the weather.
Bless him.
