Tommy and I were soundly thrashed last night (5th out of 7 including being beaten by a colt that kicked another horse and only one place higher than a mare who broke her owners nose in the ring! but that's another thread!) the horse that won the class was being shown in a pelham and double reins (3yr old sports horse qualifier class) and Im wondering what other people thought of this? Now before anyone cries sour grapes the mare thoroughly deserved to win, she was beautifully put together, impeccably turned out (Tommy is still patchy from winter and the skills of quarter marks escapes me!) and behaved perfectly. However the details for the class says suitable snaffle bridle, surely a pelham and double reins isn't a suitable snaffle bridle? Plus would anyone ride a 3yr old in a pelham? Im genuinely curious as this might be some magic showing trick Im missing!
