If you're doing an ode, do you take the plaits out for XC and SJ or do you keep them in?

It's up to you. Obv for dressage you need to be plaited so it can depend sometimes on the order it's run in as local events can be a law into themselves. I always unplaited for XC incase I needed something to hang onto!!

In my youth I did this...
I took the plaits out except for the one that lies right behind the head band of the bridle. I tied some thin string around the plait and the headband. Then if I fell off, the bridle couldn't be pulled off. This was what we all did at the time.
Happy landings. ;D ;D ;D

I tend to leave them in until after the XC unless there is a huge amount of time between SJ and XC. Normally in BE it is 30-40 minutes so no real time to remove them and get horse / rider changed.
