Dressage question

[welshpony]

This is going to sound like a very dim question to a lot of you on here but...I have a dressage test tomorrow and I have to wear a bridle number. How on earth do I attach it to my bridle?!

 

[Folara]

What sort is it as there are several. Is it a disk with a hole at the top and bottom? If so just slip it onto the throat lash.

There are the other other ones that have elastic bits top and bottom but tbh ive not used one of them so cant help .... sorry.

 

[welshpony]

It has elastic, so obviously I've gone and bought a complicated one lol.

 

[Folara]

Lol I saw those when I got mine and thought "uh oh looks a bit complicated!"

Maybe they just kind of wrap round. Im sure someone else must have one and be able to help.

Don't worry the elastic ones aren't to bad you just put it in the area of the buckle on the throat lash and twist the elastic around and around until it tight then slip it over the hook at the top of the number and same at bottom. Does that make sense?

 

[welshpony]

Pretty much, I'm sure I'll work it out! I assume it's better to put it on when the bridle isn't on the horse?

 

[tizer]

No neither of my mares mind theirs being put on after the bridle is on but perhaps it may be easier for you to do it that way whilst your getting used to it , to be honest it's always the last job we do as I normally forget!!!!!!!!!!! oops

Thanks for your help, just one more question, can I wear a sheepskin girth sleeve? a white one

 

[piaffe]

Ha. I bought one of those bridle munbers and couldnt make head or tail out of it. Now have a more simple plastic one!
