My ten year old daughter, Casey, has taken quite an interest in steeple chase riding. She had us get her two English saddles and three English bridles. One saddle is for practice and so is one of the bridles. The other saddle and the two bridles are for when she rides in competition. She says that which show she will ride it will determine which bridle she will need to use. She is a pretty good rider in her own right but the steeple ride is still new to her. So far she only jumps one rail but I don’t think it will be long before she goes for two and then three.
