Hello Colleen, and everyone else too that answered me privately. To answer your
question about the reins, not too tight but not too long either until I got him
back to a trot and really loosened up because I was sure he could not see where
he was going like that. I generally ride half seat at the canter too. The saddle
does fit I had it checked out  I am using a ported Kimberwick bit.  Started out
with a snaffle though but I needed more "breaks".  I'll try the martingale a
standing one I presume as until now I have never needed one.
