Bits – any suitable showing bit is acceptable. A lip strap must be present if a curb chain is used. Bit-less bridles are permitted. Children under the age of 12 years are not permitted to use a double bridle or double reins but split reins or pelham roundings are permitted.
Grackle, flash and drop nosebands are only acceptable in jumping classes e.g. working veteran classes.
All breed exhibits may turn out in attire according to breed and type.
I am probably the last person to ask as i show in a rope halter in hand and probably would get better marks if i used a bridle, wore a tweed jacket and jods rather than a waistcoat and matching trousers and blouse with a hat.
