Sheepskin on bridle, ODE dressage

[Irishcobs]

I'm doing a unaff ODE next Sun.
Hattie had a reaction to a sting/thorn and her face swelled. This has gone but I want to put sheepskin on her grakle, under her chin on both straps. Is this allowed?
It is being run under BE rules.

You can't use it if it affects the vision ie French Blinkers or sheepskin noseband, but nothing I can find in rules regarding padding on underside of noseband.

If its unaffiliated, I'd guess you'd be OK, but would ask the Secretary before you go to Dressage. Be aware that you're infringing the rules with any dodgy tack, whip, boots etc once you get to your test arena, ie trotting round waiting for the judge to tell you to start, NOT once you enter at A!

Not true re whip under BE rules - as long as you drop it before you enter the arena that is fine. However FEI you cannot carry it round the arena.
