How do I tie a Ready Tied stock?

[spotty_pony]

I have a Dressage comp tomorrow and I can't work out how to do it!

It has a velcro bit which goes around the neck and then there are just two long bits which hang down, I know you have to cross them over in a certain way but I can't work out how.

Any advice much appreciated.

Hard to explain!
Cross over the long bits high up so they go along the opposite collar bone, but a bit lower. Then hold the cross over in place with your stock pin.
At least 3 safety pins on each long end to hold it still, attach it to your shirt.
As you cross the long bits over turn them over too so you have them upside down, or back to front.
I hope someone comes up with a more legible expanation! Just have a practicce and it all falls into place.
Good luck!

I bet if you search Youtube, you will find a video of it. Youtube has everything!

This kind of thing is so much easier when you can see someone doing it, rather than trying to describe it.

Thank you.

I will be on tomorrow night with a report about how it went.

Don't - put it in the bin and go and buy a "proper" stock.
Very easy to tie and looks so much more neat and tidy.
