Re: [RC] Bitting, shallow mouth - Dyane SmithOn Sunday, June 20, 2004 7:58 AM Chris Paus wrote: I don't use either of these bits because I need more whoa. I have ridden this horse for 5 miles with just a halter and lead rope for steering. I use them because the shape of them fits his mouth. Chris, did you consider a sidepull? If not, why not? Dyane and Fox (currently very, very happy in a sidepull, responds as if it were a spade bit in a rider with excellent hands) ============================================================ Riding alone is when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his cool. ~ Jim Holland ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
