Fancy Browbands and dressage

[maverick927]

hi guys

I was just wondering if you are allowed to wear a fancy browband for a dressage test in a one day event?

Thanks

Awww are you guys serious?:( I saw the prettiest dressage bridle ever the other day!!! It was so nice... It had little rhinestones on the browband... It was gorgeous lol. :)

they dont really use those for dressage, so i wouldnt recomend it, unless you check for sure.

usually, its simple and elegant, so fancy extra stuff. in show jumping, sure do what ever you want! lol, but not in dressage, theyre strict about that sorta stuff i think.

At a low level a know you won't get knocked points for it, but you aren't supposed to use them, it's very incorrect.

It also draws attention to the horses head, you might get away with it if your horse has perfect carriage, but if not chances are that's where you'll lose a lot of points simply because that's what the judge would be noticing.
