Thank you, we just had totally confusion the other day at my yard as some people said yes and other said no!!! lol

For workers you can jump in whatever you normally ride in but you can not change the bridle over during the class, so ride in the one bridle for the jumping and the flatwork. You can put boots on for the jumping but they must be removed for the flatwork.

Strictly speaking a double is correct but use whatever the horse goes best in.

Thank you for the help, its very much appreciated

Do not just stick a double in if you have never jumped in one before. Nothing worse than seeing a horse go badly in a double and not jumping properly. 60% of the marks are for jumping so no point in having a hollow round lacking in forward impulsion.
