Hi Kathy: The new Tevis rule was added in a more recent year. What years did you ride?
If before about 2004 it was not in their rules. Go back and read my POST. I did state the reason the rule
was added. Go up there this year and see. Yes it is dark but their will be a Person or more checking TACK.
You could however call them and ask if they have such a rule.
Good riding Hope Lundquist

I sure wouldn't ride in the canyons (or probably anywhere else) without a breast collar, however, having read the Tevis rules many times over, and starting the ride 3 times (completed once, 3rd time was the charm)I've never heard or read any rule about tack of any kind, nor was my horse checked for a breast collar. It would be impossible to check for a breast collar at the start, since it's in the dark and a huge number of horses are starting pretty much at the same time. But still, I agree with Hope, if you're going to ride Tevis, better have a breast collar.
