Pelham roundings in the show ring

[Starbuck11]

I have a show coming up and wondered if it would be frowned upon if i use pelham roundings instead of 2 reins? My horse goes better in the roundings but will i get marked down in the ridden class?

Yes you would get marked down for it.

You should get marked down for it but have seen a horse in a 'bubble bit' get a first in a ridden show class that said snaffle only in rules !!When queried it was told but she rode sympathetically in it. Seen pelham with rounding/bubble bits in WH classes in both sections
Oh I wasn't in class nor anyone I knew but asked cause curious as to how she got first.
Would say any decent show/judge should mark you down imo.

I have used roundings for showing, but it was only a local show, nothing major.
