Question for endurance riders...

[wench]

As you are more likely to know the rules for endurance riding!

If I turned up to an endurance ride with a Bitless rope bridle, secured with a double knot on the side (like you would a rope headcollar), would this be within the rules, or would I get told to take it off for being unsafe?

You should probably contact the ride organisers to check. They might well want to check it on the day.

As above it might be worth checking, but I doubt it will be an issue as bitless bridles of all sorts are commonly used in endurance. I use one that is basically a headcollar with reins clipped on and no-one looks twice.

I'm assuming you're talking about EGB rules? If you've got any worries, then for a definitive answer take a picture of the bridle and send it to ridesandrules@endurancegb.co.uk

On the other hand, don't ask the question if you don't want to hear the answer, or let sleeping dogs lie. Someone tried to get a rule change against rope bitless bridles passed in SERC, but it was not passed. I reckon you'd be fine.k
