Can the bridle have shiny things on it or must it be plain? I'm looking for hunter/jumper or showjumper answers.

In the hunter and equitation rings, any type of "bling" is seriously frowned upon. These sports embody the tradition of riding, and they like to see riders keep to sensible tack without being showy. In the jumper ring, where you're judged only on how fast and clean you can get through the round, things are a little less formal. You'll see riders with a bit more sparkle on their tack, and their apparel is more relaxed, as well. Many of these riders compete in polo shirts instead of the traditional hunt coat.

If you plan on doing hunters at all, even if you also want to do jumpers, you should stick to bridles that are classic in appearance. You can get away with fancy stitching, but that's about it.

i know nothing about dressage?

can i wear my feild boots in competitions/shows?

they have laces.. and they aren't the dress boot kind

and does you tack HAVE to be BLACK???
and what kind of bridles and bits are allowed?

In lower level you don't have to use a double bridle?

what are the best reins? laced?

thanks!

I think everyone pretty much covered everything for you.
Your tack does not HAVE to be black-but it is preferred. Keep that in mind-some judges, unfortunately, will hold biases against it.
I personally like brown boots, gloves, and jackets much better than the black =] It has a very traditional, vintage feel to it. The black does look sharp though. I always wear black in equitation or dressage classes, and I'll pull out my brown boots and brown or dark olive green jacket for hunter classes.

Is this saddle good?

Hello,
I am looking for a new saddle, a close contact because i do eventing with my horse.
I am looking for something of good quality but not over $700, because if all the other costs i already have.

Its called the M.Toulouse Close Contact, and it is on Smartpak for $700.

http://www.smartpakequine.com/ProductClass.aspx?productclassid=4424&cmPreserveSource=true&cmPreserveCategory=true

My horse has a regular sized back, but medium withers, and i need a seat size 16 or 16.5. Is this saddle good for me and my horse?

Also, if anyone knows of any bridles or stirrup leathers would match either the dark brown or the newmarket of this saddle, that would be great.

Also, any similar saddles or brands are great.

Thanks.

You do know that the saddle you want is not in stock and with shipping it would go over the $700 you are willing to spend? Check out Tacktrader.com and Ebay for used saddles...which I recommend over buying brand new...you don't need to break in a new saddle and don't need to spend the extra $$$ on a new saddle. I like the Crosby Collegiate series. I have had one of their close contact saddles for over 20 years and use it to break my babies in. It is a great saddle, very comfortable and still has a lot of life in it AND it is a reasonably priced saddle.

Difference between leather colors: Oak Bark and Havana?

I'm looking to buy a HDR plain raised bridle, however I am having trouble picking the color.

I've looked at 3 websites, all have the same picture, but one offers it in Havana, another in Oak Bark, and one in both.

This is one of the websites...I would like the one pictures, but I don't know if that one is Oak Bark or Havana...anyone know the difference?

http://www.breechesusa.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_41_1167&products_id=4732

Thank You!
-Nicole
Yes, I have a saddle that matches the picture, I'm just wondering which color is the one in the picture =]

Problem is that all those saddlers and tackmakers use different names for the colours of leather they use. :( Mostly it seems like havana should be darrrrk like chocolate, and oakbark is redder, and sometimes called chestnut.

http://www.pleasantridge.ca/bridles.htm

If you go to the above site, they show a lot of bridles conveniently on the same horse, so you can better compare the colours. Scroll down to the "Bromont Gold Series" -- that bridle there is Oakbark. Look across to the bridle on the far right at that same level of the page, and I think that one must be Havana. So is the one labelled the Hunt Snaffle Bridle.

Hope that helps?

I found some saddlery leather colour swatches, I doubt they'll help but you can see how different the colours are!

Tack question...need help?

I just bought a 3 yr old POA mare, 13 hnds. I am an adult but only 5'2" tall and 130lbs. She is too big for pony tack (so am I) and too small for horse tack. I ride in a 15 western saddle normally but the saddle is too long for her back , by and inch or two. Any suggestions on what might fit her and me? I was thinking maybe a Abetta saddle with the barrel racing , round back...or going english (I have ridden english before). She will ride in a full cheek or hunter dee snaffle , but the bridles are either too small or too big. She seems to be in between sizes on everything. What can I do? Has anybody had this same problem finding tack for a large pony?
by the way ..so you can get an idea of her head and body size....she weighs around 650-700 lbs and a yearling horse halter fits her.
the tree of a horse saddle(semi-QH bars) fits her fine its just the length is too long.

Been there, done that, many times.
Cob size will fit if you can find it.
Often I would buy pony bridles that would go up in size to fit a full size horse but wouldn't go small enough to fit the small pony it was supposed to be sized to fit.
Go to the biggest tack store you can find so that you have a lot of saddles and bridles you can actually look at. Measure your ponies head and back with pieces of string that you can take to the tack shop with you. Then measure the saddles and bridles to see if they will fit. If necessary ask it you can take the tack home and try it out. Most won't let you but some will if you bring the tack back in the same condition it went out. Take a sheet and put it over your pony before you try on the saddle so it doesn't get dirty. But the string trick works almost as well.

I am trying to find one of the indian bridles that wrap around horses bottom jaw, and has the reins on it. Does anyone know where I can buy one, or how to make it? thanks.

Its called a thong bit. We use braided leather or deer hide. Soft rope is fine too, but I like the leather because it softens up when it's in the horse's mouth. We have always made our own, and depending on how you tie it, you get either one rein or two.

I'd like to keep the bridle's price around $100 since he needs a martingale too. Please suggest any others that you know of in this price range that are fancy stitched and QUALITY leather!

I personally have an HDR bridle and I love it! The leather is soft and supple and its gorgeous. However, I purchased it new for 140$ + tax which seems a little over your price range.

I wouldn't suggest Ovation because their products tend to wear out a little easier. However, if you like that brand and have good experience with it, don't let me stop you.

I'll attach a couple of links of bridles including the one I have and see if you like them.

Here's the one I have, I think its the same one you posted first in your list except this one is padded:

Edgewoods are really nice, but usually priced in the 200s.

Heres a crosby:

One other thing is, like you said, you will be using it as a show bridle and it will only get used once a month or less, so if you take care of it it will last you a long time. It's a show bridle so your going to want it to be nicer than a schooling bridle but your right, you don't want to pay too much. But, I would open your price range a tad bit, if its for show. Well, I hope I helped and if you have any questions feel free to email me. Good luck!

why do dressage bridles...?

hi
why do a lot of dressage bridles have a flash nose band, and many professionals use the weymouth bits?
also, what horse boots do most top hunter/jumpers use on their horses (preferably leather), and are they super expensive?
thanks!

Flashes may only be used Intro-2nd (sometimes 3rd level) They are only used on snaffle bridles... some people use them, because they are the "in" style for dressage. Others used them to help keep their horses from opening their mouths and showing resistance to contact while going on the bit. Some horses will open their mouths even while not resisting contact out of bad habit and a flash noseband can correct that.

Weymouth bits are only to be used by professional dressage riders showing 3rd Level-FEI Grand Prix... the Weymouth is on the double bridle which is optional at 3rd Level and Mandatory 4th level and above. Anyone showing at those levels wether, Jr/YR or Adult Ametuer under trainer advisement or a professional uses the double bridle with weymouth because it helps further contact and collection needed for the upper level movements. Ex (passage, piaffe, tempe-changes, piourette, etc)

As for boots Hunters are not allowed to show in boots! If you walk into the ring with any kind of boots on you will be disqualified immediately. For jumpers however people like to use open front boots because it trains the horse to pick up the front legs and not tap the poles. Pessoa's are nice, but expensive... Dover Saddlery has a brand that's a bit less expensive, looks and does the same thing... that's for leather. I like Wolf's Neoprine boots. For schooling my dressage horse or jumper I pefer to use polo wraps, but don't use them unless you know how to put them on correctly, because polo's applied wrong can cause serious damage to your horse's legs.

Good Luck!

#1- swamp fever a virus that is contiguous
#2- lying down more than usual
getting up and lying down repeatedly
standing stretched out
standing frequently as if to urinate
turning the head towards the flank
repeatedly curling the upper lip
pawing the ground
kicking at the abdomen
rolling
#9- a hack is around the nose of the horse and it pulls their head down instead of causing pressures in their mouth
#17 - lunging is having the horse in a round pen and attached to a lung line, the horse walks, trots etc. in the circle and it gives them exercise but it also calms them down if you have a hyper horse before actually riding them, lunging is also used so the animal gets used to the weight of the saddle the feel of the bit etc when breaking them
