Slip ear bridle (either a curb or snaffle) or a bosal, western saddle, breast girth. That's it.

Neue Schule baucher tranzlink lozenge snaffle, with a very loose cavason, or the same mouthpeice in a pelham for hunting/jumping.

I add a breastplate for hunting/XC and will use one when I'm allowed to get back on.

My filly will have some kind of NS snaffle to start with I'd have thought.

my ex racer has a cavesson,rench link loose ring 90% of the time (in a hanging cheek other wise) and a breastplate which is more something for me to hold onto than anything else!

Snaffle bridle (loose ring lozenge snaffle bit, no flash) and GP saddle. Plain and simple, because my horse is ultra polite!

Just don't ask what she wears on her legs...

red one wears a cavesson bridle and a type of snaffle dependant on how feisty she is. SJ saddle. brown one wears a drop, again some form of snaffle, SJ saddle and breastplate. He will jump in a standing martingale too obv with a cav noseband

Flash bridle with either a loose ring french link or a Hanging cheek frenc link for a few extra brakes when hacking (mostly in company, I have hacked her in the loose ring on our own). Because of the frequent changes I have two bridles for them its easier and less wear and tear for my nicest bridle.
Bridles - no name black english leather cavesson
Mark todd flash Brown.
Gp wintec saddle black, its my spare the prestige SJ saddle in tan really doesn't fit her anymore but I'm having a hard time giving it up as I love it.

My mare is in a loosering french link snaffle, cavesson. (Might stick a grackle on for XC and bigger SJ's).
She has an ideal dressage saddle.
Plain and simple

Currently use a comfort bridle with flash removed and a medium thick single joint eggbutt snaffle for my gelding. He's a very easy going chap and I have good steering/brakes. (I prefer to hack out rather than school). Am considering going bitless, either a Dr Cook's type or English hackamore.

I use a synthetic GP saddle with adjustable gullet and knee rolls. Don't think I could cope with breastplates/martingales as it takes me long enough to tack up as it is and I can tangle a headcollar just by looking at it!

Tranzlink baucher snaffle on a jeffries bridle (drop noseband) for schooling, dressage etc.
Cambridge mouth pelham/cavesson noseband for hacking out, until we learn that open fields are NOT race tracks for piebald ponies!
A WOW saddle, with dressage flaps.
