Hi all,
I haven't posted for a while but feel compelled to this evening.
I have been out watching my friends showing locally today and was slightly bemused by some of the tack I saw being used in the hunter and novice class I watched.
Now, it may just be me but, in all cases I think this is wrong. I appreciate this was a local show but I do think you should use correct tack and turnout your ponies in respect of the judge!

- Flash nose bands on several horses ( I have always been told that flashes are a no, no for showing)
- A saddle cloth being used!
- A martingale ( in a novice showing class - not working hunter!)
