Luciana Diniz @ Olympia - riding with just bit and reins??

[Red30563]

Just caught a bit of Olympia on Eurosport and could have sworn I saw a rider - Luciana Diniz, I think - jumping with just a bit and reins. The commentator said something about her 'leaving the rest of her bridle at home'... but didn't explain any more.

Does anyone know any more about it?

They said they were going to ask here about it, maybe something to do with a sensitive poll???

Brought this very thing up myself having seen her and As-Taro 2 do the same in the Gucci Masters in Paris a couple of weeks ago.
