Show Advice

Hi,

Really gearing up towards coloured show classes with Milly this year. Yesterday I got a gorgeous sabre havanna hunter bridle for her (on sale!). The noseband is 1 and 1/8 thick, I was thinking maybe she needs something a bit thicker?

I have reins with rubber grips on the inside, are these ok? I'm getting a thinner plain pair to match.

Also, she's 15hh with just short of 8.5 inches of bone. Too light for a cob, should I show her as a small hunter type? I would enter small hunter, but I think her height and colour would go against her. What do you guys think?

Doing WH for sure, she has a great jump.

Thanks guys!

Anyone?

1 and 1/8 sounds right for her I wouldn't go any thicker as she doesn't have a particularly large head.

I would turn her out as a small hunter and if they have a small hunter class I would do it. I have a 15hh spotted mare and do small hunter classes on her and she does well.

Thanks very much! Saves me a few quid then! You see some with huge 2 inch nosebands, mine looks a bit skimpy!
