if you've got a complaint etc take it up with the relevant society or particular show. Don't come whining on here under a guest name

I don't see any harm in changing the 'setting'. Letting it off a bit etc. No rules broken, I don't think

I dont see the problem. Some horses are very sensitive and I dont see the harm in an adjustment. Maybe the owner was a little concerned that the horse wouldnt take kindly to a possible heavier hand and thought it would be safer to adjust. Ive seen some ride judges who sit on and dont touch the reins and some who sit and take a bit of a hold. Nothing wrong with either but if the horse is extra sensitive then it may have been a sensible thing to do 'just in case'

Hang on a mo before you bight my head off!!! I am not complaining , the curb chani was not loosened or tightened it was completely changed and then changed back. I would not dream of complaining to a society about it I just wondered if it was within the rules!

It is not fair to ask members on here to say what is within the rules, you need to ask the Society concerned. I am not biting off anyone's head

Why do people get so narky on here. Because people come on here as guests asking questions that they should put to societies. If you notice there are plenty of threads that are deliberate debates or where people ask for help where members are not narky. We get cheesed off with "guests" who put up threads like this and then turn out to be obvious trouble makers. Now I am not saying that you are, nor the OP if you are different people; but time and time again this has turned out to be the case and genuine members have been abused or trolled. We are all more wise to it these days.

That's one scenario, agreed. Another is to ask a question without lots of relevant information, so that a well meant answer to the actual question asked is sat on, to be polite, which does tend to put me at least off trying to help those who may be genuine.

I think the initial post caused confusion. I read it as changed the setting rather than changed the whole thing. Technically quite different scenarios. I wasn't the only one to misunderstand! however, if you did see a curb chain changed, then yes, I think you should refer to the society for confirmation of the 'rules'. Seeking opinion on those is a different matter and sometimes can be a useful discussion.

Seeking opinion on those is a different matter and sometimes can be a useful discussion. We often see threads like this where a statement is made, then later in the thread; often when the OP does not read what they want to hear it changes. However I do agree with you that completely changing a curb chain is entirely different to altering it.

Out of interest, what was changed for what in relation to the curb chain?

If the society's rules under which that horse was being shown on the day state that no change of tack is allowed then I guess a complete change of curb chain part way through the class consistutes a breach of rules .... you really do need to go to the relevant society's website and have a look at their rules as all the guessing and opinion in the world will mean nothing against what is printed in black and white in the rule book
