Are earplugs or cotton authorized?

Explanation:
Both earplugs and cotton are authorized because they are simple, non-active aids that don’t change how the horse moves or how the rider controls the horse. They’re used to protect the horse’s ears from debris or to reduce distraction from noise without altering performance, so they’re allowed under the rules when used safely. If a specific class or judge has any safety or local restrictions, those would take precedence, but in standard practice both options are permitted.
