[RC] Cavessons (was: Kimberwicke) - k s swigart

I won't buy a bridle with a flash noseband, but finding
a regular noseband leather bridle is tougher.  Just about
everything you see these days has a flash noseband.
What's up with that?


You need to look in a place that sells tack for show hunters.  A flash
noseband is a forbidden piece of tack in the hunter ring, and since, in
the hunter ring, looks is everything, you can't get away with having a
cavesson with a flash attachment and just not put the flash on, because
that little loop would be unsightly and put the judge off in an instant
:).

However, if you aren't concerned with looks (which I am so _I_ don't own
any cavessons with flash attachments) then just taking the flash off
works just fine.

You can also buy a dressage double bridle.  Since you can't use a flash
with a double bridle, the cavesson for a double bridle doesn't have an
attachment for a flash.

Or barring all these things, they DO sell cavessons completely
separately...and then you can put it on your western bridle if you want
:).

All of these things come in leather.
