Breastplate Running
Essential and helpful tack for eventing?
I am going to get a event er horse soon and I wanted to know what you consider essential items for tack when eventing (besides the obvious saddle).
1. What tack for Show Jumping?
2. What tack for Cross country?
I have a close contact saddle, bridle, 2 terrible girths, plenty of saddle pads, and two different types of bits. I am thinking that I will need splint boots, bell boots, a running martingale, and breastplate.
Thanks for all help! No criticism or rude comments please.
I recommend a jumping saddle for both showjumping and crosscountry, but for low level eventing the close contact should suffice. You need a good girth.
Any hunt style bridle will suffice. You'll need a snaffle for dressage.
Splint boots, bellboots, martingales, and breastplates aren't necessary.
For yourself, for crosscountry, you'll need a good helmet that's never been fallen in, a safety vest, and a medical patch, in addition to the usual breeches, boots, shirt, jacket. I like to change my shirt and jacket to something more colorful and casual for crosscountry, but you don't need to. It's fun to match your saddlepad to your shirt, but absolutely not necessary. You can also use a different style helmet than the hunt cap, and match that as well (again, not necessary).
When you're ready for the higher levels, you'll need a dressage saddle, a full bridle, dressage clothes, etc., but you'll know long before you need them.
Have fun!
