In hand Question

[Lottie83]

I'm doing the coloured in hand in a couple of weeks, I've seen coloured and plain browbands used? What shall I use? or is it just personal preference?

I would personally opt for a plain one......

I show and breed coloured horses, and it depends on the particular head of the horse. The purpose behind a fancy velvet browband is to help draw the judges attention towards your horse. However like i said it depends on the shape of the horses head and its breed.

I think i quality plain bridle does much more for a horse than a coloured one. Providing the width of the leather is in proportion obviously

I use a plain bridle from Fylde, I have a traditional cob. The bridle also has a flat hunter noseband which is more suited to him than a rolled stitched one. His previous in hand did have a brass clinch browband which also suited him.

All depends on the type of horse you have, but you can't really go wrong with a plain one. I have seen brass, plain and fancy velvets on horses in coloured classes.

I prefer plain, we will be using a plain browband on sunday for Nico. Good luck for your show

Plain it is then!! I thought plain, but then saw a few at Devon County with coloured and wondered if I should, but I'll stick to plain! Thanks
