Yes I am planning on
Riding the Oak Leaf Run, if I can find some one to help me out. Seeing it
would be my first I don't want to go alone. I'm trying to get my mum to come,
but she hasn't ridden her horse all spring. (Except on occasion when I
drag her with me) I was hoping to maybe go to some of the LD rides before that
to get my bearings, but it seems I'm a little to late for that.
Thank you,
Allegra

Subject: Side pulls/ head gear. (for the
horse)
I am trying to switch all my horses over to bitless headgear. I
have 3 of 4
changed over for recreational riding and my one 50 mile horse
can go in a
vosal after the 1st loop. The others go in a bitless bridle and
a sidepull.
I noticed in your attachment that you are from Michigan.
Are you gonna ride
the Oak Leaf Run in July?
