RE: [RC] [RC] biothane headstalls and tack - Ranelle Rubin

I have used Zilco biothane (or whatever they call their version) for over 10 yrs now on many different horses. I have two sets, they both look basically brand new still! I do diligently rinse them EVERY TIME I ride..the brass is a bit oxidized in a few spots, but that is it. I have never had a rub spot on any horse.

This may be a silly question, but I wonder - those of you using biothane headstalls and tack - do you think the stiffness of the material bothers your horse? Or have you found biothane that is more flexible than what I've come across? I have looked at "betathane" which does seem softer - but not by much. I've ordered a new headstall from Sportack, but I know some people hate biothane. I don't have time to clean and condition a leather headstall and my nylon one is wearing out. Biothane seems like the way to go, but if it's going to bug my horse it's useless...Any comments??

Thanks -
Jen
