first dressage test

[serena2005]

i cant find any rules for the dressage test im doing next week... would i be right in saying, no boots on horse, snaffle bit, no flash etc what about a whip and a saddle cloth??
im only doing prelim 18, but iv never been to one before and not sure what to expect!?

thanks for your help

You can wear a flash, snaffle bridle on horse (not martingale but can have breastplate)
Normal saddle and saddlecloth (not dayglo pink!)
White/cream breeches, normal jacket and hat (with a dark cover if a skull cap) GLOVES (must have), can have whip and spurs.

Can have a caller in case you go wrong, bridle number (unless unaff and they usually provide numbers)

do you have to plait up? can i use white bows?? or is that a bit chavvy and childish!!

you dont' have to plait, although most do (depending on the hunt), but definately no white bows - definately chavvy and childish...
