No noseband in dressage..

[AshTay]

Is that ok?
My (arab) mare doesn't have one and looks prettier without it. We're doing our first local RC dressage class this weekend and am wondering whether it's ok to not have one on.
Thanks!

Under BD rules a cavesson, drop or flash noseband must be worn

When I was 10 I did dressage a lot on my pony who didn't wear a noseband due to sweetitch and we always got marked down for it.

It's probably worth putting a simple caveson on so you don't risk loosing any marks.
