Re: [RC] Hacamore riders, halters? - Susan Young Casey--- Claudia Provin <provincmk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I've never seen/used a horse collar----what are the advantages/disadvantages?? The disadvantage is you don't have control of the horse's head...say when you're vetting him in before a ride. However, Charlie knows his job and helps the vet by opening his mouth. I don't require a halter on him so don't use one. The advantage is you don't have to mess with a halter when bridling. Charlie is rather special so I wouldn't recommend a collar unless your horse was super nice to you when you're on the ground. However, if you do have a guy you can trust, a collar is nice...even if you only use it at vet checks when you don't want to take the headstall off. ===== Susan Young Casey, Princess of Pink, LIW, RRHA, RHS Semper Obliquo (Always aside) Glenndale Grace Farm, Ft Gibson, Oklahoma U.S.A.
