Showing people ...l

Does anyone know what kind of bridle you would show tommy in ? Hes a Reg Welsh section A .

Going to put him into the 4 years and over inhand class at some of this years shows .

I have his plain snaffle bride with flat noseband and I also have an inhand bridle .

Which is correct for showing inhand ? Inhand bridle with lead rein or snaffe bridle with reins over his head ?

Thanks x

Ideally the in-hand bridle, although both would suffice

Is he the grey in your sig? He's gorgeous

An inhand bridle with a newmarket coupling and a leather lead.

Or if you don't want to spend any money, use a pelham coupling to link the bit rings and use a clean plain black or brown leadrope.

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Already have the coupling and have lead reins both long and short

Im just wondering as most of the 4 years and over are showing in a snaffle bridle with reins over the head , confused now lol .

Yes bella thats him , thank you .

As he is a section A i would say white halter if you can controll him in one, if not then as he is over the age of 4 then riding bridle with reis over the head.

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

I think white halters are only for yearlings/2/3 year olds are they not ?

Tommy strong hehe

nope hes not strong at all .

I would go with a cute little snaffle with flat nose band like show hunter pony bridle and reins over head as he is 4! he's lovely!

 

[conniegirl]

no white halters are for all section A's and section C's and section D's except for stallions

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

So for 4 years and over have to wear the white halters ?

I wouldn't have him in a white halter, I prefer to see mares and babies in those personally.

I showed my sec D in a riding bridle (hunter style) at Herts County and was told a in hand bridle would be preferred, so that's what i'm basing my opinion on. It looks more professional if you've a bridle designed for the job in hand

Corrrr he is a cracker though Colleen, exactly my sort!!

You don't HAVE to show him in the white halter, but it is the most common thing you'll see. But if he goes better in a bridle a judge would probably rather see him going well in a bridle than going crazy in a halter!

Good luck, he's a cutie!

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

I have a plain little inhand bridle (brass buckle job ) Although I have to admit he does suit the flat noseband .

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Hmm , I watched the a section a class at last weeks show and there was only the one wearing the white halter , Dont ask me what age the class was

I havent seen that many mind you .
