AnswerI was taught to hold the snaffle (milder bit) like a normal, single rein, and add the curb or rougher bit rein between the baby finger and ring finger, or under the pinky. here is a diagram http://www.angelfire.com/tx2/kidshorses/seat.html
Different people hold the reins different ways. Do you have an instructer to show you?
Good luck at the show
