What I don't get is that at a show in the UK, no way would feet that long be permitted. Under FIPO rules, they should NOT be permitted - yet at a world championships, after several inspections, they were allowed. It's like bits - that bloody awful Paso bit and flash were allowed at the WC, yet at the show last weekend I was told by the (German but lived in Iceland for years) judge that I was not allowed to use the Myler Comfort Snaffle which Skessa loves (which is part of the reason I ended up using the loose drop noseband, her brakes in that plain snaffle I used were dire). This, while other people had Icelandic bits and flashes...
