Hi
We are travelling to a bsps show for the novice when i have looked at the schedule they have a restricted just before the novice. I am wondering if anyone ever does both and if you were to win or second could you still go into the novice not saying we could even be placed highly but just don't want to do wrong. If it was a hoys class i understand only travelling for one class but thought whilst we there is it worth doing both classes incase one goes wrong.
Thank you

Are we talking about WHP/SHP/SP or Heritage classes?. If I knew I could point you in the right direction of the rule numbers which can be looked up on the BSPS website. There are too many to put on here for each section. Basically yes you can do both with a novice pony but a Restricted class is counted as a Restricted Open class and if you won three of them with a pony 6 years old or over you would de novice it. Which would not be to your advantage with a proper novice WHP.

If it's for the Heritage flat classes I have seen many ponies do the novice in a snaffle bridle and then change to a double/Pelham for the Open/Restricted. Quite deflating for those of us with a 4 year old novice but that's a whole other discussion Not sure on the rule about denovicing if you do well in the restricted, sorry, but lots do both at the same show.
