Shadow Roll - BS legal?

[ohmissbrittany]

Basically as title. I've got a looky one and considering trying it, but won't bother if it's not BS legal. I didn't see anything about it in the rulebook- just a rule on blinkers and side rolls on the cheekpiece, figured it was worth asking more experienced folks as a double check.

Cheers!

Although I've not tried to use one the rule does seem fairly clear - they would be prohibited. The rule reads

Blinkers or any attachment to the horse/pony or the bridle which may affect the animal's field of vision is prohibited. Sheepskin may be used on the cheek pieces of the bridle providing the sheepskin does not exceed 3cms in diameter measured from the animal's face. (Section 2 Rule 102(6))

Given that the entire purpose of a shadow roll is to obscure the horse's vision I would assume it is not permitted. Sorry!
