Reins Bridle
Can a figure 8 bridle be used in hunter shows?
I really love this figure 8 bridle http://www.tackwholesale.com/paris-tack-figure-fancy-stitch-bridle-laced-reins-p-478.html but I plan to compete in hunter shows this summer. Can it be used or do I need just a plain bridle with no flash or anything? Thanks!
Not in a hunter class--you'll be disqualified.
Here's my reason for knowing...I managed to get myself disqualified in a hunter class (Hunter Pleasure at an Arabian show) despite being the only person in the class. Do you know how humiliating it is to be the only person in the class, get to the center for the lineup (such that it was with only one person), and not get your name called out? ha.
The reason was that I was taking dressage lessons at the time and had a flash noseband on my bridle. It was the kind that could be taken off. Problem was, I totally forgot about it and left it on there. Big oops.
So...don't do that 
.
If you need a figure 8/flash noseband for other reasons, consider getting the kind that slides on and off. That way, you can put it on for schooling but take it off (hope you're better at remembering than I am) when you show.
In jumpers, you can use it.
