Is Tom Thumb bit ok/legal for BE SJ & XC?

[BeckyD]

I couldn't see it in my BE rule book...but I don't know my way round the rule book very well yet.

I mean one of these:

 

[FigJam]

Perfectly fine- I've evented mine XC in it with no problems. She SJs in her snaffle, but it would be acceptable to use it SJ if I wanted.

Photo evidence!

 

[OneInAMillion]

Yes it is, FJ stop posting such gorgeous photos

 

[FigJam]

Any excuse! I can't write reports this year, so need to sneak my photos in where I can!

 

[BeckyD]

Super, thank you both!

And thank you for the gratuitous pic, very nice it is too!

Wondered whether a Tom Thumb would be worth trying on Pig? R needs breaks but curls up in the Pelham, any ideas not used one before?

 

[OneInAMillion]

Tom Thumb is quite strong so I suppose it just depends on the horse

 

[FlyingCoo]

It is in fact legal for both as I've been road testing Figjam's the last few months.Even though got my own now she's not getting it back as it's a lucky bit!
Made a huge difference to mine as he just ran through the Waterford.

She is strong XC and sets her neck, she ignores a three ring but coils up in a pelham, guess it's worth trying

Ditto! Waterford was fine for 3 or 4 runs then the XC coin dropped v suddenly, horse ran through it and I had a very scary XC round indeed. Brought out the Tom Thumb next time (had previously tried it SJing but found it too much) and.... wow

Tom thumbs aren't as harsh as people make out, ifthey where then Scooby wouldn't be in one cus no 1 - he wouldn't accept it and I would most probably had my arms pulled out of my sockets by now!
And 2 I hate harsh bits

Just saying xxx
