in hand hunter horse

[xxxloz123]

Hi, My horse has qualified for hunter type in hand at chiltern and thames in september. for the qualifier he wore an inhand bridle. But am i right in saying it would look smarter if he wore a bridle with a flat nose band and browband? ( no bling ) and also what should I be wearing? I have the tweed etc. Im new to showing so I have no idea what im doing hehe. hes 4 years old and 15hh. thanks

Yes it is correct to use a proper bridle with flat noseband and browband

Try and have a look at some photographs from other shows or maybe the one you are going to if you know who the photographer was last year.

Just as an example:

gives you an idea of the 'look'!

Good luck and well done for qualifying.

Ignoring the fact I have a coloured in my hand



This is what I wear for in hand, Canary shirt and tie, Tweed jacket which you will need for the hunter class and just brown bootcut trousers and brown boots, a hat and gloves

Some people just wear their Jods and normal riding boots, thats fine for local level and im sure you wouldnt be frowned upon for wearing it at county either, but its what most people wear

Good luck
