Grackles in Dressage..

[CastleMouse]

Was reading the Dressage Ireland rule changes which took effect from January 19th 2006, and found this -
• Nosebands: The following nosebands are permitted with a snaffle bridle: Cavesson; Dropped; Flash; and Crossed / Mexican [Grackle]
Surely it's not correct that you're allowed grackles???

Exactly what I thought, could they be talking about combined training???

 

[Santa_Claus]

they could well be but will would have thought the rule or section would specifically refer to combined training classes...

MEEEEEEEEEEEEE TOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Got 'told off' this morning as was in warm up with grackle for BD havig forgotten and been working in bridle I normally use for BE.

Ridiculous too is the fact you can have a whip BD but not BE and a caller BD and not BE!

I'dve thought that 'pure' dressage people should be more able to remember a test than BE peeps who are also trying to remember a million other things including which saddle, what time, which course etc

oooops - sorry - mini rant over!
