I know this is probably a basic question. I have a 5yr AA mare that I've entered in a (AHS) novice ridden class at the weekend. I seem to get conflicting answers about whether to ride in a double or snaffle bridle. Are there any definite rules about this? It will be the mare's first show and I have to admit she is easier to manage in the double.
There is absolutely no rule as to what "bits" you can present your novices in.
The only rule appertaining to tack is - Ridden Class exhibits must wear conventional and well maintained "english" tack. The judge may refuse to ride or judge a horse if He\she deems the tack to be unsafe or unsuitable.
The main rule specific to Novice classes is - Spurs must not be worn in Novice Classes
