IMGA Guides

Guidance on Allowed Tack

Saddles, bits and bridles allowed under IMGA rules.

Saddles

Treeless saddles are now permitted under IMGA rules.

  • Saddles MUST have full length lateral base panels and a central gullet.
  • This means that there must be fitted panels under the full length of the saddle that give a channel between the saddle and the pony’s spine.
  • The pads must be part of the saddle.
  • There must be clearance between the saddle and the pony’s back.

Bits and bridles
