Dressage Tack Question ...

[HBII]

Sorry not having a copy of the rule book I have no idea, so just a quick question ...

Are breastplates allowed in unaffiliated dressage tests? Obviously I will be removing the running martingale aspect! If not will I be allowed a neck strap [stirrup leather] if the breastplate isnt allowed?

Thanks in advance

yup, you can use breastplates in affliated aswell.

no neck straps during the test, but you can use them to warmup in then take them off before you go in

I thought neck straps were ok for prelim tests?

 

[Tempi]

I dont know, but she can use a breastplate anyways, so no need for a neck strap!!
