Sagey it means that the pony got a substantially lower conformation mark than is usual for that pony, therefore the judge marked it as if it only had three legs!!

The dilema we are in, is our lad goes well in either a snaffle or a pelham which his rider rides off the snaffle rein, but we have left him in his snaffle this season - but after reading some of the above comments - should we put him back in his pelham for HOYS classes? Opinions gratefully received  |

Personally I think it would be very interesting and nice to see all ponies/horses ridden in a snaffle in open classes! I think ponies are sometimes rushed into a Pelham to go into open classes! I have shown many times in a snaffle in open classes as that is what most of mine prefer  |

So pleased I found this thread as my daughter currently has same problem with her 9 year old connemara. He goes lovely in his NS snaffle, in both flat and workers. However, he is not happy in a pelham and hasn't got the room in his mouth for a double. I assumed that etiquette dictated that an animal had to be shown in a pelham/double for open flat classes. Maybe it is time for us to take the bull by the horns and go for what is right for the pony. We haven't got anything to lose either way as we end up way down the line as it is because he goes so awful in his pelham!!
