Re: [RC] [RC] MY Million Pines Story - Tina HicksAngie, were the reins all one piece? or did they have a buckle or some breakable part? I've never really like the idea of continuous, one-piece reins for lots of reasons - this just adds to that :) I wonder, in this case, if the reins had broken so the bridle fell off the horse, maybe the blind panic would have been prevented. Sure the horse would have been nekkid :) but maybe some of the risk would have been diminished. Tina - whose one piece reins endurance were taken to a leather shop years ago to have a breakable buckle installed.

I've always put the reins around my horse's neck while taking off his halter & putting on the halter bridle. After seeing how badly the bit hitting the legs paniced that horse I will now use a lead rope instead to hold him. A loose horse with no bit hitting the legs wouldn't have been so paniced.
