Fw: Re: [RC] [RC] Bridling a horse... - Shelley Kerr
Ditto here. I do alot of trail riding and it's convenient
leaving the halter on under the bridle, etc, etc. I think my family
is the only people who do the gaming with their halters under their
bridles. :-) That's how serious we are about barrel racing.
Not a big deal to us. The horses get use to it and saves on buying a
nose tiedown. Just use the halter.
Well, I have been getting into a bad habit over all the
years. Some say I'm lazy, others say I'm just a ride and tier.... I
don't take off the halter when I bridle a horse. I always ride with the
halter on. Two reasons. One: in ride and tie I want to use the halter
to tie him to a tree (him because I really don't want to own any more
mares except Clown..) as to use just the bridle and he gets
into trouble could really hurt him. Two: even though it is not
"correct" I have always thought it safer not having a horse the option
of breaking away. Maybe that is because I started off with Rushcreek
horses that were rank and new. Any ways, that is what I do, simply
put the bridle over the halter, leave it on all the time that I am
working him and save time twice, not having to do the exchange in
putting on, then taking off said bridle. Steve
