Questions about english tack at APHA shows.

DB4L90 · 07-19-2008, 02:04 PM

I have a couple of questions for the people who show APHA.

Are synthetic English saddle allowed? Like Wintec?

This is the saddle I am looking at. Would this be ok? I would be showing HUS.

Also, is this bit allowed??
(I might not use this when the time comes but in case I have to, is it?)

I'm not sure if twisted mouthpieces are allowed or not...

Both of those are fine. The only restriction on bits are excessive ports or more than 2 breaks in the bit. I know that you have a curb chain on the bit you showed, but for future reference, any bit that has a fixed rein must have a curb chain. Have fun!
