Don't know about turn out for the other classes but WH tends to be smart, plain and functional (plain leather brow and nose bands etc) but check the rules for bitting sometimes equitation classes have restrictions. Look at old HandH for photos of winners in those classes and see what they are wearing.

but dont think il be getting any H&H magaizines soon, not till the show anyway

my only comment on the hanging snaffle is that on the Dressage commentary for Badminton Carl Hester and Pammy Hutton agreed that when they see a horse in one, they immediately wonder "why?" and "is there a problem?" So you MAY want to consider if you could ride in a plain snaffle perhaps for the riding club horse and/or junior equitation.

you can use the same quarter marks for each class. If you can ride in a normal snaffle for your equitation then great, if not then don't worry too much about it. Make sure your tack is spotless and everything fits correctly. You should have plain leather for the WH class but you could have a velvet type browband for the riding club horse.

Good luck - hope it goes well

ahh thank you!!
i might use the square quarter marks for equitation and riding horse, and then just teeth marks on the thighs for workers?
thanks for the advice.

oh im wearing a tweed jacket for workers and riding club with canary johds.......will that be ok for equtation??
