Mr T - Kieffer bridle with myler comfort snaffle, Wintec dressage saddle and boots

 

[lillie07]

Elevator bridle with Loose Ring KK and Cavesson Noseband

WOW with Dressage Flaps with a Cotton Dressage Square.

Bandages or brushing boots on all fours.

When I eventually jump him again it will be with Jumping flaps on the saddle and with over reach boots on.

I believe in keeping tack as simple as possible...

Flo-

-GP saddle

Lottie-
-Caverson bridle
-Loose ring french link snaffle

I don't use martingales, really don't see the point in them. I occassionally use a breastplate on Flo though. And they sometimes wear boots if doing roadwork or fast work.

Oh and sometimes use a Western saddle

My horse currently wears...

kimberwick
caverson noseband
standing martingale

for all disciplines.
Although if I'm jumping over 2'6 I'll put a running martingale on instead.

I wish it could be another way but she is definitely happy in this combination so who am I to argue...

 

[Gentle_Warrior]

bridle with no noseband
gp saddle

[Gentle_Warrior]

[Laafet]

Mr T wears
Normal bridle with cavesson noseband, a loose ring french link snaffle (he's too strong for his happy mouth straight bar now!) and Standing Martingale to prevent the head in air f*cking off at 90 moments we had when riding him away. Ok he only did it twice I fell off it in two seconds and wasn't hurt, my work colleague stayed on for a minute going flat out round the school and bailed out as he wasn't going to stop and broke his ribs.
I ride him in a racing exercise saddle as I cannot afford to buy another one just yet and it aids clean unplanned dismounts. I don't use boots as he hasn't ever worn any and being Welsh D x he has a slight dish so he legs are never anywhere near each other and as he doesn't have shoes on behind there is no need for hind boots.

Lady wears a Wintec 500 GP saddle with a cotton numnah (usually although I have some lovely velvet and stubben ones

) and a Sabre cavesson show pony bridle (as it's the only one I could find at the time that fitted her little head) with a JP eggbutt snaffle.

I don't use any gadgets on either of mine apart from side reins when lunging and neither wear boots. I do have humane girths, bonded stirrup leathers and bent leg stirrup irons on both their tack

[Tinypony]

My horsies feel left out and want more clothes!

But to be fair we don't compete so there isn't so much need for protective gear. The horse I ride most wears a Fitform saddle with a nice sheepskin pad that I have adapted by making memory foam pads to put in the panels. And a rope halter with clip-on rope reins.
All 3 are in some form of treeless saddle, only one is regularly ridden in a bitted bridle, he has a simple bridle with no noseband and a happy mouth straight bar bit.
Maybe I should get some of those beads to hang round their necks...
