Many riders may not realise that tailored waistcoats are permitted under both British Dressage and British Eventing competition rules, offering a smart and cooler alternative to the traditional show jacket.
Although the changes to the British Dressage (BD) rule have been in place for some time, exhibitors and trade stand holders say awareness remains surprisingly low, with many competitors still unaware they can wear a fitted waistcoat in the dressage arena — including at BD championships without seeking prior permission.

Well I think I have new cover girls for my Bridle fittings don’t you agree? 🦄 Today I had the absolute pleasure in assisting Tilly & Merrylegs ~ little Dartmoor mare who loves ponyclub and dressage and has started mini workers, and by far the cutest unicorn we’ve had over here at Pax Equestrian!
What a beauty she is, and a perfect fit in this Henry James Bridle and HJ calfskin supergrip with stoppers reins.
Did you know we have a 25x40 ménage here at Pax Equestrian Services? Perfect for Bridle fittings! *Saddle fittings can be arranged here too with Ellie Tomlinson Master Saddler ~ Medida Saddles - Ellie Tomlinson Master Saddle Fitter So the full fitting opportunity in one visit! In fact little Merrylegs is fitted with a gorgeous Cavaletti VSD supplied and fitted here by Ellie 🥰
If you would like more information on Bridle fittings with Helen here at Pax Equestrian Services or a yard visit, we stock Henry James Bridles, Dever and Premier Equine. Or for the bespoke service a Bridle can be made here for your horse or pony using the very highest quality Sedgwick Leathers!

Pax Saddlery & Leatherwork has a new larger sized stamp set for those gorgeous personalised pieces 😍 very popular with Gun slips and cartridge bags! The smaller font is super handy for marking tack but we often have enquiries for the larger pieces so here we are!! Very impressed with the quality too, and what better way to mark the buckle guards I’ve been making.
Happy to discuss any bespoke leatherwork here at Pax Equestrian Services, whether it be Bridlework or an alternative leather goods project. Drop us a messenger message or email
