Liberty class question

[rosaroca]

The 2005 rule book states:

Exhibitor and assistant should wear

appropriate, tasteful attire. A safe costume or

theme outfit is allowed for the exhibitor and

assistant only. Pony will not be allowed to wear

anything once the halter has been removed: no

costume, ribbons or glitter.

Does this mean that a decorated halter that goes with the pony's music is allowed, so long as it is removed for the class?

Everyone's thoughts?

I don't see that a decorated halter would be a huge issue. The only liberty-halter issue I have ever seen was a couple years back the judges warned an exhibitor that they didn't have an appropriate halter for the class. It was more like a noose, and they felt that without the traditional fit and buckle, that it gave an unfair advantage for the catch.
