OPEN SHOW TACK AND APPOINTMENTS
English: Any style English saddle may be used, including All Purpose, Forward, Jump, Australian, or Dressage. All English riders must wear an ASTI approved helmet, properly fastened, while they are showing their horse (see Helmet Policy). An English jacket is required, but may be excused at the judges discretion. Appointments may include non-roweled spurs, gloves, crop, or ½ chaps. A boot with a heel is required. Tie-downs, draw reins, and martingales are not allowed. Non-mechanical hackamores and sidepulls are allowed.
Western: Western style stock saddle, with or without horn. An Australian style saddle is allowed. Western classes allow for sparkle and shine, but please consider that at the Ellis River Riders training level shows, a clean look fits the bill, and points will not be deducted for simple attire. Appointments may include chaps, spurs, neckerchief, and gloves. Riders will not be discounted for wearing approved Safety Helmets. Bits may be snaffle, curb, bitless or bosal. A snaffle, bitless, or bosal headstall must be two-handed, and snaffles must have a chin strap (snaffle hobble- prevents pull- throughs). A curb must be single handed and have a curb strap. A boot with a heel is required. Tie-downs, draw reins, training forks, and tendon wraps are not allowed. No mechanical hackamores or halters.
Ranch Horse Seat: Western style stock saddle, with or without horn. An Australian style saddle is allowed. Ranch Horse classes encourage no bling, but please consider that at the Ellis River Riders training level shows, a clean look fits the bill. Appointments may include chaps, spurs, wild rags or gloves. Riders will not be discounted for wearing approved Safety Helmets. Bits may be snaffle, curb, bitless or bosal. A snaffle, bitless, or bosal headstall must be two-handed, and snaffles must have a chin strap (snaffle hobble- prevents pull- throughs). Curbed bits must be ridden one handed.
