Illegal Hunter Tack
Bits, Bridles, & Martingales
Regulation snaffles, pelhams, and full bridles with a cavesson noseband are recommended. A judge may penalize a team using a non-conventional bit. Any noseband other than a plain cavesson is unacceptable. Bit converters are illegal. The only acceptable martingale in hunter classes is the standing martingale, and it may only be used in classes over fences.
Shoes, Boots & Wraps
Light pads and bar shoes are acceptable, however, horses with bar shoes should be faulted in conformation classes as they are evidence of a weakness. Any boots, wraps, and bandages are prohibited.
