Hi im going to be backing my pure bred steel grey gelding next year, and my head is spinning trying to find out what tack is preffered in the show ring, i know he isnt going to be in the ring next year but im intrested for future reference
I have noticed that most pure breds are ridden in plain cavesson bridle and working hunter/show saddle?
What colour are you opting for? make of saddle/bridle etc, just curious. Thankks in advance xx |

Just to clarify my post above, that is her 'posh' tack. The rolled bridle is a double bridle (if desired). Her everyday tack is an english cut specialized saddle and either a synthetic Dr Cook or a biothane endurance bridle. |

Brown is considered correct for showing, I have a brown Ideal Ramsay saddle and a very fine bridle which can be used as a snaffle or double with an extra headpiece. |

I have been following this thread but not really had anything to add. My current tack is brown, a Barnsby bridle and Kieffer dressage saddle but I will be changing it next year. I intend to buy a black rolled or comfort bridle and black leather GP. I too love black tack on greys |

Hi angelarab, whos your horse? He may be out late in the season, he isnt four till june, i cant wait.
Thanks everyone, i just wondered if black or brown tack was better. I know brown is more correct for showing, but i love black tack on greys |

I have a lovely flocked synthetic dressage saddle which I bought second hand about two years ago, It's an adjustable & is on X-wide! to fit my mare. It is fitting my filly already & I'm planning on using that for backing then, when she's older get a decent saddle for showing. They always change so much. Bridle is just a nice raised cavason with a lossenge snaffle. |

i LOVE my gfs working hunter saddle use it for everyday and in the show ring i have a freebie GFS snaffle bridle day to day and a Kinkade snaffle for showing paid £15 for it in a sale!! very simple fine one, all my tack is brown girth is a brown thorowgood style one. Can't wait to see your boy under saddle we will be in the same class if you come to North Wales show |

Lily has a black Bates saddle and a black rolled bridle, not particularly with showing in mind, just because I like rolled bridles on an Arab head, and black because she is grey. |
