I no I have already posted about which showing classes I could do with abbey, but I was just wandering, what bridle I have to use?

At the moment I just ride in a snaffle, but I have heard that you have to use a double bridle or at least double riens??

Help what does she have to wear, im planing on doing riding horse best combo and maybe ridden light hunter??

Thanks for putting up with me

With regards to bit, I *think* you can use a snaffle in novice classes, but it is correct to use a double bridle in open classes. I could be completely wrong though!
 
Show hunters, cobs, riding horses and hacks - a double bridle or pelham is traditional for all these classes except the four year old classes, which may be shown in a snaffle.

Working hunters, cobs and working hunter ponies may be shown in any bridle, although double bridles are commonly used.

Hope this helps!

I show Bear in a pelham. What inch bit is she?
Ive just bought a new one, so I have got 2 mullen mouths ones 5'' and the other ones 5 1/2''.
I dont use either of them.
