I strongly disagree with "mandatory" equipment. I know how to choose my tack 
& tighten my saddle.

I think this is an opportunity for rider education. It's pretty common to 
see the bodies go flying at the start of some rides, and at least one that I 
have been behind was from a tack issue.

==========================================

horse that had the saddle dragging under it's belly...a breast collar would 
have prevented the whole thing from becoming that bad. Maybe it would be 
wise to make it a mandatory piece of equipment like shoes on many of these 
courses?
